Released: The Story Behind the Software

What does it really take to deliver software at global scale in the world's most regulated industries? In the premiere episode of Released: The Story Behind the Software, Digital.ai CEO Derek Holt sits down with Eric Baran — who leads developer platform and Gen AI for Amazon Web Services's global financial services business — for a wide-ranging conversation on AI, agentic workflows, and what enterprise software delivery actually looks like in 2026. The takeaway most people aren't talking about: writing code faster is only a small part of the story. For the world's largest banks, insurers, and financial institutions, the real bottlenecks live in the release pipeline, in governance, in security — and AI is starting to change all of that. 🎧 SUBSCRIBE to Released for new episodes featuring technology leaders from the world's most influential enterprises.
