Episode 248 Richard Bray, Developer Advocate at BetterStack
Update: 2025-08-14
Description
Richard Bray is our guest on the show today, and we are so excited to talk all about his role as Developer Advocate at Better Stack. Better Stack is a developer-first observability and incident management platform that combines incident management with uptime monitoring.
Richard started down the DevRel path by creating his own content on social media, which quickly led to him receiving interest from companies looking to draw on skill for engaging people through video. Over time, he’s continued to build up his skills, increase his clients and expand into more areas of Developer Education.
We learn from Richard about what it means to be developer-first or developer-plus, and why that model can work so well for the right companies. We also touch on the process and hiring for DevRel, and the Do’s and Don’t’s you’ll want to look out for during the process.
