Building Immutable Release Pipelines with Hashgraph

An airhacks.fm conversation with RichardBair (@RichardBair) about:

the relaxed nature of JavaOne keynote presentations with James Gosling, the experience of delivering live demos versus pre-recorded content, impressions of the recent JavaOne conference with 70% new attendees, the Hashgraph team including former Sun/Oracle employees like Josh Marinacci and Jasper Potts, explanation of Hedera Hashgraph's consensus service as a message bus system, discussion of a practical enterprise use case for Hashgraph to create immutable release pipelines, storing release stages as messages in a topic, capturing build metadata including dependencies and test results on the blockchain, the ability to run your own mirror node to query data for free, the potential to create a release pipeline listener that triggers actions based on blockchain messages, the advantage of having an immutable audit trail for compliance purposes, the possibility of creating an enterprise gateway that handles payment and provides REST APIs, the difference between consensus nodes and mirror nodes, the benefits of using blockchain for software supply chain verification, the performance capabilities of the system for reading thousands of messages per second
