S3, Ep8: The Evolution of Cloud-Native, Platform Engineering, & Gateways

Livin' on The Edge: DevTools, APIs, & More

As they say, the one thing in life you can count on is change. Our latest guest on Livin' On the Edge podcasts is Krishna Modi, a Cloud Engineer at Cisco. The discussion covered a range of topics, including Krishna's professional journey, Cisco’s evolution, Identity and Access Management (IAM), trends in API gateways, and the rise of platform engineering. "Cisco has always been one of the best company cultures and has always felt like a family; that's why I came back," Krishna stated, noting that he is one of many "boomerangs" who left and then inevitably returned to the company. What Krishna shared included insights about how companies must evolve in a cloud-native world and how developer teams need to take platform engineering seriously.
