He Helped Fix Twitter. Now He’s Building AI Infrastructure (William Morgan)20 Aug56 min

<p>In this episode, we sit down with William Morgan, founder and CEO of Buoyant, to talk about how he turned Linkerd into a successful open source business and what it takes to build infrastructure for the next wave of AI. We cover the Twitter chaos that inspired Linkerd, why Rust was the right choice for a mission-critical system, and how Buoyant figured out the hard way which features companies will actually pay for.We also get into the future of AI infrastructure, including why running models inside company environments matters, how enterprises think about compliance and control, and what changes are coming as GPU costs shift. If you’re interested in open source, Kubernetes, AI infrastructure, or founder lessons from the trenches, this one is packed with insights.</p><p><br></p><p>#aiinfrastructure #opensource #buoyant #ai</p>
