About This Podcast

Beyond the Hype is a monthly podcast from the Scott Logic team where we cast a practical eye over what is new and exciting in software development – everything from Kafka to Kubernetes, AI to APIs, microservices to micro-frontends. We look beyond the promises, the buzz and excitement to guide you towards the genuine value. At Scott Logic, we have years of experience in tackling tough software problems for our clients, often at the bleeding edge of technology. Each month on this podcast, our CTO Colin Eberhardt brings together friends, colleagues and experts for a demystifying discussion that aims to take you beyond the hype.
