APIs and services are the backbone of modern software. But as integration patterns evolve, are RESTful APIs still the best option, or are alternative approaches better suited for today's evolving software needs? Kin Lane joins this Steering Engineering episode to discuss these timely questions.

Developer experience isn’t just a feel-good initiative; it’s a measurable driver of productivity, software quality, and business impact. Yet, many still hesitate to invest in it. In this Steering Engineering Podcast, we talk to guest expert Abi Noda and answer the question: is it really worth it?

What is the current thinking around microservices? Are monoliths here to stay? And where does RESTful fit in? In this episode of the Steering Engineering Podcast, we tackle microservices architecture from a more technical perspective and discuss its current and future outlook.

AI is automating design, content, and personalization — but what does it mean for software engineering leaders and the UX pros they lead? On the Steering Engineering Podcast, we explore AI-augmented UX, automated experiences, and agentic UX to uncover what the future holds for UX design.

What is an architect? What do they or should they do? What’s the difference between a solution architect and an applications architect? This episode of the Gartner Steering Engineering Podcast explores these questions and more to determine how to define the architect role in software engineering.

The “future of code” and the evolving role of deep programming expertise will massively impact software engineering. On the Steering Engineering Podcast, software engineering leaders will learn about the balance of the traditional role of coding versus low-code platforms and AI coding assistants.

Software engineering leaders should evaluate DevOps platforms to reduce complexity, improve security and accelerate software delivery. On this Steering Engineering Podcast, we ask one of the co-authors of the Magic Quadrant for DevOps Platforms on what the future of the industry looks like.

The age of AI agents is upon us. Human-AI collaboration, true automation, and adaptive systems that are able to hyperpersonalize experiences on the fly all hold great promise, yet major obstacles remain. Haritha Khandabattu discusses these topics with the Steering Engineering Podcast.

As AI-augmented development proliferates, developers are worried their roles may shift away from hands-on coding, reducing the need for deep programming skills. In this Steering Engineering Podcast episode, we discuss how to successfully adopt AI and promote a team culture that embraces change.

Software engineering is rapidly changing as technologies like AI-augmented software engineering take hold. In today’s Steering Engineering Podcast, we look at how software engineering leaders are navigating through the hype and using engineering practices to move from ideation to value creation.

When the music changes tempo, style and rhythm, we need to dance differently. AI changed the music for how our organizations operate, and in this Steering Engineering Podcast, you’ll learn to choreograph the models and bots, creating the partnership that unlocks the full AI potential.

As GenAI takes on more coding tasks, the daily life of a software engineer looks more like a manager than a traditional software engineer. On today’s Steering Engineering Podcast, we dig into this topic with Charity Majors, engineer, author, CTO and creator of the engineer-manager pendulum concept.

Software engineering leaders say yes to embracing challenges by nature. But when should they stop — and do they know how to when they need to? Gartner Distinguished VP Tina Nunno joins conservation around “saying no” on today’s Steering Engineering Podcast.

While remote work is standard practice, a Gartner survey shows its effect on developer experience is not always positive. On the Steering Engineering Podcast, we discuss the findings with researchers Raveena Gandhi and Brian Minning, and explore ideas and tools to elevate your developer experience.

From teaching new code-writing skills to augmenting all phases of the development life cycle, generative AI has the potential to reshape software development in a holistic manner. The Steering Engineering Podcast talks to analyst Frank O’Connor about his Predicts document on GenAI.

Software engineering leaders will face ever-increasing changes in the next three years, from evolving career tracks to managing digital backlash. Steering Engineering podcast hosts Danny Brian and Brent Stewart debate four predictions with analyst Jim Scheibmeir.

Low-code application platforms — or LCAPs — offer many benefits to solution development, but also raise many questions. What is the current state of low code? In this podcast episode, we dive deep into Gartner’s Magic Quadrant on low code with lead author, Oleksandr Matvitskyy.

Books serve as vessels of structured knowledge filled with ideas, battle-hardened practices and hard-won experiences of seasoned industry experts; introducing us to new concepts and diverse approaches. Join us in this podcast to learn which five books Gartner analysts recommend you read in 2024.

Today’s hype is tomorrow’s revolution. Love it or hate it, hype creates a forward-looking mindset that breeds innovation, disrupts markets, and inspires wonder. In this episode, we interview Mark O’Neill, Gartner Chief of Research for Software Engineering and hype cycle author.
