Tracking Drug Smugglers and Migrating Databases with Benny Keinan and Lior Resisi

Maritime logistics is the process organizing the movement of goods across the ocean. Historically, this has been a challenging problem because of the multinational nature of shipping, as well as piracy, smuggling, and legacy technology. It’s also profoundly important for security reasons, and because 90% of what we buy travels over the oceans. Ocean vessels produce a lot of CO2, which adds climate change and energy dimensions to maritime logistics. Windward AI is a maritime logistics platform that was started 13 years ago by two ex-Israeli naval officers. The idea for the company came from the observation that, at that time, it was hard or impossible to know what’s happening on the deep sea. Benny Keinan is the VP of R&D and Lior Resisi is the Data Platforms Group Lead at Windward AI. They join the podcast today to talk about the technical and practical challenges of maritime logistics, why Rockset was the right database for their unique datasets, the impact of the Ukraine war, and more. This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization.

The Right to Be Forgotten with Gal Ringel

Data breaches at major companies are so now common that they hardly make the news. The Wikipedia page on data breaches lists over 350 between 2004 and 2023. The Equifax breach in 2017 was especially notable because over 160 million records were leaked, and much of the data was acquired by Equifax without individuals’ knowledge or consent. Data breaches are increasingly costly to companies and to affected users who must deal with the ensuing identity theft. In 2018 the European Union implemented the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR. Despite its mild name, the GDPR had major consequences for individuals’ rights to control their data, and for companies that operate in the EU. Among other things, it gives the right to have personal data removed from a company’s records. This is the so-called “right to be forgotten”. Gal Ringel is the Co-Founder and CEO of Mine, which allows users to identify which companies have their data, and it automates the process of removing data on behalf of its users. In this way, Mine aims to reduce online exposure and minimize risk for anyone using online services. Gal joins the show today to talk about his company, the impact of GDPR, and how his experience in military intelligence, venture capital, and tech led him to co-found the company.

Daytona with Ivan Burazin

Cloud-based software development platforms such as GitHub Codespaces continue to grow in popularity. These platforms are attractive to enterprise organizations because they can be managed centrally with security controls. However, many, if not most, developers prefer a local IDE. Daytona is aiming to bridge that gap. It’s a layer between a local IDE and a backend server, so developers can work locally while interfacing invisibly with a remote environment. Ivan Burazin is the CEO and Co-Founder at Daytona, and he joins the show today to talk about how Daytona works, Spotify as an inspiration for his product, and more. Jordi Mon Companys is a product manager and marketer that specializes in software delivery, developer experience, cloud native and open source.
