Hello, listeners. You might remember in season six, episode 15, I interviewed ITAL, the co-founder of Commodore.

Today, I have a special episode of the CodeStored podcast, bringing back our friends at Commodore.

I'm chatting with their open source dev leader, Andre, about the latest initiatives at the company, including some exciting tooling around Helm and

further advances in Kubernetes troubleshooting and expertise. As a reminder, Commodore enables

development teams to monitor their entire Kubernetes stack, identify issues, uncover root causes,

and get the context needed to troubleshoot their orchestration efficiently and independently.

Well, today I have a special guest on the Code Story podcast, Andre. He's the head of

open source at Commodore. Now, we're going to be talking about some new initiatives and some

new goals for the company. Andre, thank you for being on the show today. Hey, welcome everyone.

So before we jump into Commodore, your role and what is, you know, what are the newest things happening at Commodore?

I'd love to learn a little more about you. Tell me a little bit more about you and your story and how

you got to Commodore. It's a long story which starts back in 2009 when I started to

ride the first plugins for the open source law testing tool called Jmeter. Back then, it was all new.

The open source was only starting to conquer the world. It was pretty exciting experience over the years. It was always

connected to my main job, but as a result of this excitement, I started to make the project after

project. And I was always curious, how do I do these open source projects, not just pieces of

code online, but the successful, let's call it, social

projects when people come and share and something bigger appears after all of these joint effort

of people come together. I've been doing many open sources in most of my workplaces. I've been in that role

of doing open source activities, making sure that commercial part of the company understands the

value and business value of the open sources and that this counter business activity of doing something for free

co-leaves and naturally connects to the business side of things.
