In another bonus episode Jamie is joined by Allard Buijze, founder and CTO of AxonIQ. Jamie and Allard rewind the clock to the early days of Axon, uncovering how a frustration with system complexity sparked the creation of a framework now powering mission-critical systems around the world. They unpack the nuanced difference between “scalable systems” and “systems that scale,” explore the challenges of microservices, and reflect on the mindset shifts and organisational culture needed to succeed in today’s tech landscape.

They get into the backstory of Kubernetes, how it changed the cloud game, and why open source matters more than ever. Plus, Randy shares some great career advice on staying curious and keeping up in a tech world that never slows down.

In the fifth episode of The Cloud Native Attitude, Jamie and Ian sit down with Sam Newman. Sam is a renowned expert in cloud, continuous delivery, and microservices, and author of the upcoming book Building Resilient Distributed Systems (coming August 2025). Together, they unpack what microservices really are, when they make sense, and why jumping on the bandwagon without a clear purpose can cause more harm than good. Sam shares hard-earned lessons on how microservices can empower organisational autonomy, the communication challenges they introduce, and how to navigate the architectural trade-offs involved.

The conversation also explores how microservices intersect with object-oriented programming and what capabilities teams need to succeed in this complex space. Whether you're scaling your system or just curious about the hype, this episode cuts through the noise with clarity and candour.
