  • Ep204: Hacker Mindset at Scale: Inside Detectify's AI-Powered Security Platform on AWS
    Apr 28 2026

    Discover how Detectify's hacker-DNA culture, multi-account AWS architecture, and Claude Code on Bedrock helped a lean security team deliver zero-day protection to customers before they even knew they needed it.

    Topics Include:

    • Haris Kabiljagić leads cloud operations, data, and scanning at Detectify.
    • Detectify started in 2013 as a group of ethical hackers in Stockholm.
    • The platform continuously scans customers' attack surfaces for exploitable vulnerabilities.
    • A global community of elite ethical hackers feeds real-world payloads into the engine.
    • Early on, a centralized cloud team caused over 40 service disruptions monthly.
    • A multi-account AWS strategy via Control Tower eliminated disruptions entirely.
    • The hardest part of decentralizing wasn't technology — it was the culture shift.
    • Cloud ops had to evolve from gatekeepers into enablers of secure, fast deployment.
    • Detectify's architecture runs on three pillars: scalability, event-driven services, and security.
    • MSK and Amazon MQ replaced self-hosted RabbitMQ, enabling true event-driven microservices.
    • AWS Security Hub provides a single pane of glass for security posture visibility.
    • When the CAPS zero-day hit, Detectify delivered a live test to customers same day.
    • Customers logged in braced for panic — and found the threat was already handled.
    • AI-assisted development via Claude Code on Bedrock accelerated code migration 30x.
    • The team moved from five modules per week to 150, without sacrificing review quality.
    • Success is now measured by speed of remediation, not volume of vulnerabilities found.
    • A new internal scanner lets customers protect applications before they ever reach production.
    • Detectify's roadmap: make security effortlessly native inside the pipelines teams already use.


    Participants:

    • Haris Kabiljagić - Head of Developer Services, Detectify
    • Johan Broman – EMEA ISV, Head of Solutions Architecture, Amazon Web Services

  • Ep203: Beyond Observability - How Dynatrace Uses AI to Fix Problems Before You Know They Exist
    Apr 21 2026

    Dynatrace's Chief Technology Strategist Alois Reitbauer explains how AI-powered observability is moving beyond monitoring to autonomously fixing software issues — and why the best AI doesn't replace human judgment, it sharpens it.

    Topics Include:

    • Dynatrace helps global enterprise companies observe, optimize, and protect their software.
    • The platform goes beyond monitoring — it takes automated action to fix issues.
    • Business observability connects technical data to real-world operational decisions.
    • Dynatrace has been investing in AI for 14 years, starting with root cause analysis.
    • AI eliminates human confirmation bias when diagnosing critical system failures.
    • Generative AI now enables Dynatrace to propose and implement code-level fixes.
    • AI works best augmenting humans — like a GPS, not an autopilot.
    • The Dynatrace-AWS partnership began with aligning on a shared long-term vision.
    • Joint engineering calls and shared roadmaps made the two teams feel like one.
    • Dynatrace experienced Amazon's famous silent document-reading meeting culture firsthand.
    • Good partnerships require honesty, investment, and knowing when to say no.
    • AI is maturing from an efficiency play toward genuine human augmentation.

  • Ep202: Self-Driving Infrastructure - How Vercel Is Automating the Future of Web Deployment
    Apr 14 2026

    Vercel's VP of Engineering Lindsey Simon unpacks how AI is transforming web deployment — from self-driving infrastructure and automatic rollbacks to prompt-to-app magic and what coding will look like by 2027.

    Topics Include:

    • Vercel turns a simple git push into a live URL, fast
    • Customers range from solo indie devs to major enterprises globally
    • Under Armour, Reuters, and Polymarket all run on Vercel's platform
    • AI agents can detect failed deployments and automatically suggest fixes
    • Vercel calls this approach "self-driving infrastructure" — a post-AI evolution
    • The AI SDK lets developers write model-agnostic code across any provider
    • V0 lets anyone generate a full app just by typing a prompt
    • The AI Gateway provides intelligent model fallbacks and cost efficiency
    • Vitamins vs. painkillers: Vercel only builds what customers genuinely need
    • AI works best when code has structure, types, and tests already in place
    • AWS Bedrock helped Vercel scale V0 when it went unexpectedly viral
    • Vercel's AI philosophy: "let it rip" — with smart guardrails around data
    • Weekly "Demo Days" put every engineer in front of 200 colleagues to present
    • Design is a company-wide discipline, from product UI to office signage
    • A new AWS integration makes provisioning Aurora and DynamoDB just a few clicks
