25. Building Enterprise-Level Applications with Web Components

Hosted by Jamie White, René Winkelmeyer

In the past, the ambitions of web developers in building feature-rich applications has run up against the limitations of an Internet that wasn't designed with heavy UI elements in mind. That's all changing with web components, a standardized way to encapsulate and distribute functionality across every browser, regardless of an application framework. René Winkelmeyer from Salesforce is our guest on this episode to talk about the history of web components, as well as the open source tooling which Salesforce is building with enterprise-level applications in mind.

21. Building APIs that Integrators Want To Use

Hosted by Idan Gazit, Matte Noble

We often think of an integration as communicating with just a single API, but it's not uncommon for some applications to pass data between several platforms. Sentry does just that, acting as a conduit between different services, so that changes in one system are reflected in another. Being able to do this efficiently—and correctly—requires a careful approach to not only your own platform's APIs, but your partners as well. Matte Noble is a Senior Software Engineer at Sentry, and he's here to talk about how they've built a robust platform that handles error cases and massive data processing with an approachable developer experience.
