   EP 29 | Nir Koren from SAP - 100 Devs, 100K Agents

   Join us as we explore what happens to CI/CD when every developer commands an army of AI agents! In this episode, Nir Koren, DevOps CI/CD Team Leader at SAP, shares how he went from the 2006 nightly build that one missing semicolon could break for almost 2,000 people to running pipelines for 200 microservices, and why, even when 100 developers become 100K agents, whoever pushes the code still owns it. Discover how a security scan stayed switched off for two years, why AI that explains build failures hits a wall inside org-specific pipelines, and why Nir says the predictability of CI/CD is what protects business continuity.

That pain is how Continuous Integration was born. * CI forced the industry toward short, fast builds and then microservices, and Nir shares the counterpoint he quotes from Martin Fowler: if your codebase is manageable, don't go there. * From Hudson to Jenkins: Kohsuke Kawaguchi's fork, why "org.hudson" still shows up in Jenkins stack traces, and the same license-fork pattern with Elasticsearch, Redis/Valkey and Terraform, now that an agent can rebuild proprietary software. * Life after a startup acquisition: Gigya became SAP's Customer Data Cloud, with 200 microservices, about 400 repos, around 30 Kubernetes clusters and 600+ nodes, plus the compliance load a corporation brings. * Control at scale: every Jenkins job is generated from a services database, so deleting a service deletes its jobs. No zombie jobs, and one pipeline file for everything. * 100 developers become 100K agents, but whoever pushes is accountable. Production deploys that skip the full pipeline are blocked unless an emergency box is ticked and the manager is notified.* A developer switched off a security scan "just to get the build through", and it stayed off for two years until an external audit found it. * The honest limits of AI in CI: great at npm errors, lost when the error hides in tens of thousands of Jenkins log lines. And the thought experiment: switch off the CI/CD platform and let the agents run, and Nir expects chaos.

   EP 28 | Yoseph Reuveni from Walmart - One SRE vs 600

   Join us as we explore what site reliability actually looks like at Fortune 1 scale! In this episode, Yoseph Reuveni, Sr. Director II of SRE at Walmart Global Tech, traces a career from an Israeli VC seat through Elbit, Amazon Prime Video, Bloomberg compliance and Jet.com, into running the only SRE function for a company with 35,000 engineers and 2.5 million employees. Discover how his team went from eight engineers staring at dashboards all night to a single person on the holiday bridge, why an EVP asked "how does one SRE beat all of you?" in a room with 600 engineers, and why he calls unit test coverage in the GenAI era "one big fiction." Yoseph Reuveni on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/yosephreuveni/ Miki Manor on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikimanor/ Ofir Stein on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ofir-stein/ DevOps Leaders - https://www.linkedin.com/company/devops-leaders-il/posts/?feedView=all Key takeaways: * The real difference between SRE and DevOps: DevOps upgrades the database, SRE asks what tier it is and whether the customer would even notice it going down. * 300 SREs supporting 32,000 developers, versus Google's roughly 7,000 SREs for 30,000 developers. * Walmart's "triplet" architecture: three US regions, each with a private data center plus Azure plus Google, 2 milliseconds apart, all active at once, with cost and capacity deciding where work runs. * Holiday peaks run 100x a normal day and last for hours, not minutes. Microsoft built data centers so Walmart would have enough capacity. * 5 billion metrics per second, a volume most monitoring products simply cannot ingest, which is what turned build-versus-buy into build. * His first week produced a list of 60 things to fix. His boss made him pick three: automation, tech debt, and observability. * Attacking problems by class, not by incident. One expired certificate becomes a program to eliminate every trust failure across Walmart. * Adding a missing metric used to mean chasing a team for a year. Now it's two buttons, no code change, no deployment. * Why AI made him a "master lazy" engineer, and why juniors shipping code they can't explain forced Walmart to require an architect's signature on any runtime change to a new resource. * The best-selling item at Walmart on Black Friday two years ago: over 30 million bananas.

   PlatforMa 2026 | Eyal Goldenberg from Cellebrite - Freedom vs Chaos

   Join us as we explore where the line sits between developer freedom and total chaos in the agentic era! In this episode, Eyal Goldenberg, Director of SaaS Platform & DevOps at Cellebrite, shares how a company that lived on-prem since 1999 made the jump to SaaS, started its platform deliberately "not opinionated" — and learned the hard way why you have to get opinionated to move fast and safe once agents enter the picture. Discover his line on what really separates freedom from chaos ("just how much light you turn on in the room"), how his team built an SDLC fleet of 30+ agents and 40+ skills devs pull as versioned plugins, and why he bets DevOps — soon "AIOps" — is the role that survives and grows. Eyal Goldenberg on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/eyal-goldenberg/ Miki Manor on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikimanor/ Ofir Stein on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ofir-stein/ DevOps Leaders - https://www.linkedin.com/company/devops-leaders-il/posts/?feedView=all Key takeaways: Cellebrite has run digital-forensics tooling for law enforcement since 1999, all on-prem — then ~5 years ago made the leap to SaaS to finally answer the constant customer pain of slow, on-prem-bound delivery The platform started deliberately "not opinionated" — everyone did what they wanted — which quickly turned into a wild west of conflicting decisions; the team is now moving opinionated on purpose, because speed and safety with agents demand it "The difference between freedom and chaos is just how much light you turn on in the room" — they're strict and standardized on CD, but CI still has too much freedom that needs trimming Building an agent isn't the hard part — the real questions are who it serves, how it serves, and who orchestrates the orchestrators before everyone reinvents the wheel The spaghetti-code warning: if we lean only on agents and stop talking to each other, we'll hit a point where reverting is impossible and "rewrite it all again" becomes an infinite loop — talk to other humans, your pain is shared Their SDLC fleet: 30+ agents and 40+ skills, with Terraform and React skills devs pull down as plugins, contribute back to, and version semantically — each app repo owning its slice Heavy regulation (FedRAMP and more) means no infrastructure gaps between high and low environments — feature gaps are fine, infra gaps are not DevOps's edge over developers is the wide lens — from infrastructure all the way to production — connecting the dots devs (who mostly care that "the pod works") don't see Hiring has flipped: Eyal now leads with AI questions and a troubleshooting scenario — if a candidate still manually edits the UI and configs, they're in the old world; he wants to see them drive an agent to investigate, run, and self-correct* On 2027: DevOps doesn't disappear, it becomes AIOps and grows — more compute, more GPU, more agents, agent-to-agent conflicts needing arbiters — someone still has to build, scale, and monitor the infrastructure We're recording live from the Platforma conference in Tel Aviv, featuring fascinating discussions on AI and more.
