Large organizations use multiple cloud providers to meet increasingly growing needs for things like better economics and redundancy and find a better fit for their application and data workloads. But smaller organizations don’t have the budget or resources to manage custom-built platforms that make multicloud possible. So what can they do?
That’s where Zeet comes in. Zeet launched to help developers create reusable, self-serve cloud infrastructure. CEO and Co-Founder Johnny Dallas joined the Craft of Code podcast to tell us all about it.
Johnny explores the idea of the multicloud, how his users build multicloud solutions, why platform engineering is so important, and how Zeet worked closely with LiveKit. We also hear his top advice for anyone working in the DevOps or platform engineering space on how to combat multicloud challenges.

Think about the last time you went online to ship a package. You begin to enter your address at checkout and BAM…the address bar auto-populates.
Things have changed since the early days of e-commerce and your favorite companies are using sophisticated data intelligence technology to pinpoint your exact address and provide their best possible service. Many are doing this with a platform called Smarty.
Founded in 2011 as Smarty Streets, they are used by huge corporations like Microsoft, Netflix and even NASA to process “colossal amounts of location data at breakneck speed”, as explained on their website.
In season 3, episode 7, we are joined by Smarty’s founder, CEO and CTO, Jonathan Oliver.
Jonathan discusses how he began coding at age 8, his route into the industry and how the industry has evolved since the 1990s.
Plus, he takes us back to the early days of Smarty and mapping technology and touches on Smarty’s partnership with Linode.

When developer Savvas Agisilaou, aka Savvy, wanted an easier way to moderate images in Discord chats, he set about to develop DeGore.
DeGore is an AI-powered image moderation bot that helps users take a break from manual moderation of images, GIFs, image links, and thumbnails sent in Discord servers.
Being an ambitious developer, Savvas wanted to scale his project but ran into issues with other hosting providers. That’s when he turned to Linode. With the power of Linode, Savvas was able to scale DeGore’s capabilities and keep up with demand. In this episode of the Craft of Code podcast, he explains how Linode’s features support DeGore, why he first developed it, and his big plans for the future.
