Inside the Stack
Inside the Stack is a podcast for developers, founders, and tech leaders who want to understand how real systems are built, scaled, and maintained — without the hype.
Each episode breaks down what actually happens inside modern software systems:
from request–response flows and APIs, to architecture decisions, scaling trade-offs, developer tooling, security, and the human decisions behind technical choices.
We talk about:
- Backend systems, APIs, and architecture
- Scaling beyond traffic — systems, teams, and complexity
- Developer experience and engineering culture
- Practical lessons from side projects, startups, and production systems
- Technology trends, trade-offs, and real-world engineering decisions
Whether you’re an early-career developer, a senior engineer, or a founder building product infrastructure, Inside the Stack helps you think clearly about how software really works — and how to build it well.
New episodes drop regularly.
🎧 Listen. Learn. Build better systems.
