Secrets Not Included

The Secrets Not Included podcast shows why many IT systems in practice are insecure, unstable, or unnecessarily complex — and how to do it better.

Ole and Daniel talk about real architectures, concrete security problems, and the decisions behind them. It's not about theoretical best practices, but about solutions that stand up under real conditions: secure deployments, clean secret strategies, robust infrastructure, and well thought-out automation.

It becomes clear that security isn't an add-on — it's the result of clear technical decisions and clean processes.

Anyone responsible for systems quickly recognises where typical weak points sit — and how modern, secure platforms have to be built to run reliably in the long term.

Monitoring richtig gedacht: Von Logs über Alerting bis zu datengetriebenen Entscheidungen

Hosts

Monitoring ist weit mehr als ein Dashboard mit grünen und roten Balken. In dieser Folge sprechen Daniel und Ole darüber, warum Logging, Monitoring und Alerting unterschiedliche Aufgaben erfüllen, weshalb Request-IDs und zentrale Log-Aggregation das Debugging revolutionieren und wie Metriken dabei helfen, bessere technische und fachliche Entscheidungen zu treffen. Außerdem geht es um Dashboards, Deployments, Message Queues, Security-Metriken, Eskalationsstrategien und warum gutes Monitoring am Ende nicht nur Systeme stabil hält, sondern auch den Umsatz schützt.
