And I sometimes I think these are the best shows because we didn't plan them out. I...

Bret is joined by Matan Mishan & Roy Razon of Livecycle to discuss developer platforms and how to improve developer collaboration and speeding up feedback and previews.

They've made tons of additional backup and recovery products over those years, and now they have Kasten...
