E14: Patrick McFadin, VP Developer Relations at DataStax & leading expert of Apache Cassandra

Today I had a fun and engaging conversation with Patrick McFadin, the VP of Developer Relations at DataStax. Patrick is one of the leading experts of Apache Cassandre which is an open-source database management system. Patrick and I also discussed: The changing attitudes towards open source from the 90’s to today. He also gives examples of open source has reset the economics of building software in the past and goes on to explain how Kubernetes is again resetting the economics. Another interesting topic we discussed is the growing importance of Site Reliability Engineers in the database world.
