Description
On this week’s episode, Archana and I cover recent headlines concerning social media platform, TikTok, and the gaming provider, Epic Games. TikTok appears to have gained some additional time (now 90 days) before the US government will enforce its ban on the service. Gaming provider, Epic Games, recently made news when its game Fortnite was removed from Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store for violating their Terms of Service. Epic was quick to file a lawsuit claiming the tech giants were in violation of anti-competition laws. The outcome of this case will be one to watch, and can have far-reaching impacts for developers. Next up, we speak with William Collins, Lead Cloud Architect at a Fortune 100 company, about cloud connectivity, on-ramp services and the difference between the “Big 3” on-ramp services.
