This week Corey is joined by Anurag Gupta, founder and CEO of Shoreline.io. Anurag guides us through the large variety of services he helped launch to include RDS, Aurora, EMR, Redshift and other. The result? Running things almost like a start-up—but with some distinct differences. Eventually Anurag ended up back in the testy waters of start-ups. He and Corey discuss the nature of that transition to get back to solving holistic problems, tapping into conveying those stories, and what Anurag was able to bring to his team at Shoreline.io where automation is king. Anurag goes into the details of what Shoreline is and what they do. Stay tuned for me.Links:

I’m Corey Quinn. This promoted episode is brought to you by Shoreline, and I’m certain that we’re going to get there, but first, I’m notorious for telling the story about how Route 53 is in fact a database, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong. Now, AWS today is extraordinarily tight-lipped about whether that’s accurate or not, so the next best thing, of course, is to talk to the person who used to run all of AWS’s database offerings and start off there and get it from the source.
