Update: 2024-09-03

Description

Pradeep talks about building at global scale and preparing for inevitable system failures. He talks about extra layers of security, including viewing your own VMs as untrustworthy. And he lays out where he thinks the world of cloud computing is headed as GenAI becomes a bigger piece of many company’s tech stack.

You can find Pradeep on LinkedIn. He also writes a blog and hosts a podcast over at Oracle First Principles.
