The Reasoning Show

The Reasoning Show AI moves fast. Thinking clearly matters more.

The Reasoning Show cuts through the hype to explore how the smartest people in enterprise AI actually make decisions — the strategy, the tradeoffs, and the hard lessons no press release mentions.

Every week, hosts Aaron Delp and Brian Gracely sit down with the founders building the tools, investors funding the shift, and operators running AI in the real world. Not hype. Not panic. Just clear-headed conversations with people who have to make actual decisions.

Because the AI revolution isn't just happening. It's being reasoned through.

New shows every Wednesday and Sunday.

SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show; Tell us about your background, as you’ve worked for a number of interesting companies prior to Datadog.

Are you able to tell anything about the types of companies being monitored? (industries, size of company, etc.)

Topic 3 - Highlights from the State of Serverless report

The majority of functions are still fairly small, and don’t run very long (small memory footprint).
Node.js and Python are the leading languages/frameworks being used (almost 90%)
Nearly half of EC2 users have adopted Lambda
Early adopters of Containers (ECS) have adopted Lambda - 80%+
Discuss which event-driven data sources are the most frequently used

Topic 4 - As you’re analyzing this usage data, what are some of the things you’re thinking about as a Product Manager for functionality that you can provide to help better monitor these rapidly changing environments?
