Today we talk to our own Drew Rogers about some of the nuanced aspects of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Development Operations (DevOps) within the rapidly evolving domain of sports betting.

In this week’s TechChat, we welcome Keith Gregory, our Cloud & Data Engineering Practice Lead here at Chariot. Keith is a prolific writer both on the Chariot blog as well as on his own, and is a wealth of knowledge on all things AWS. We touch on Redshift execution plans, how to appropriately size Redshift instances, a performance comparison between Amazon Redshift and Athena, and the value of AWS certificates. And if you’re going to the AWS Summit in NYC on Wednesday, July 26th – we’ll be there too! Come say hi.

We're excited to have Michael Hulet back to the show. Michael is an iOS expert here at Chariot, and we talk candidly about some of the major announcements that came out of WWDC 2023: SwiftUI, SwiftData, the Apple Vision Pro, iPadOS, and.... the Kool-Aid guy?

What's new in Swift 5.9? Variadic generics, macros, observability, interoperability with C++, static linking via mergeable libraries, and more. https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/258/whats-new-in-swift-5-9

SwiftData, a modern, macro-based replacement for Core Data (well, it technically wraps Core Data). Makes it easy to persist data using declarative code, can query and filter data using regular Swift code, and integrates seamlessly with SwiftUI. https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftdata/

Apple Vision Pro: a $3800 pair of ski goggles, or "AirPods for the eyes." We kid, kind of, but we're excited to see where this gadget goes. https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/

What's new in iOS 17? Voicemail for FaceTime, Assistive Access, NameDrop, SharePlay in CarPlay, NameDrop for sharing contacts, and more: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/ios-17
