If you’ve been following my work over on The Chronos Archive, you know I love deconstructing the systems that shape our world. But recently, it became clear that dropping a highly technical debate about software architecture right after an episode exploring the mysteries of the ancient world was… well, it was giving my listeners conversational whiplash.
History is the source code of our present, but the actual, literal source code needs its own home.
That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new dedicated tech podcast: The Architecture Archive: Platform Engineering Deconstructed.
What is The Architecture Archive? Every scalable system starts with a blueprint. This new show is dedicated entirely to breaking down the architectural decisions driving modern DevOps and Platform Engineering. From wrestling legacy pipelines to architecting stateless microservices, we will analyze the structural trade-offs of enterprise tech.
Episode 1 is Live: The Great SSIS CI/CD Debate We are launching the feed today with a massive, 45-minute deep dive into one of the most notoriously frustrating aspects of enterprise data: SSIS CI/CD Pipeline Design. We stage a head-to-head debate between the “Modernist” (automated perfection) and the “Realist” (legacy constraints) to figure out how to actually standardize data pipelines without breaking existing integrations. You can listen to it right now on Spotify:
Housekeeping: Moving the Tech Episodes Because I want both of my podcasts to be highly focused, I am currently doing some manual feed migrations. Over the next few weeks, I will be moving all of my previous tech-heavy episodes off of The Chronos Archive and onto The Architecture Archive.
If you are looking for past episodes like:
- The Architecture of Upgrades
- Software-mageddon: The Great Bifurcation
- The AI Reality Check
- Wokepedia vs. Grokopedia
- The 2038 Problem
…they will soon live exclusively on the new tech feed. The Chronos Archive will remain strictly dedicated to historical deep-dives, while The Architecture Archive will be your new home for engineering blueprints.
Thank you to everyone who has listened so far. If you build, automate, or maintain the platforms that engineering teams rely on, hit subscribe on the new show. Let’s get to work.
