Author: Front End Happy Hour October 7, 2024 Duration: 50:27

In this episode of Front End Happy Hour, we sit down with Emre Baran, Co-founder and CEO of Cerbos, to dive deep into the world of startups, product-market fit, and scaling a tech company. With over 20 years of experience, Emre’s journey includes building Turkey’s largest social network, contributing to $1 billion in revenue at Google, and now tackling one of the most critical parts of the devops stack—authorization.


Emre shares his insights on being a ‘Chief Everything Officer,’ balancing technical and business challenges, and the importance of a well-thought-out go-to-market strategy. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned engineer, or looking to grow your startup, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and invaluable lessons on leadership, scaling, and staying agile.


Tune in for an inside look at what it takes to build and grow a successful tech company in 2024.


Grab a drink and pull up a chair. Front End Happy Hour is where the conversation gets real after the code compiles. Each episode brings together a rotating panel of engineers from companies like Netflix, Twitch, and Atlassian, all sharing their experiences from the trenches of software development. The atmosphere is unfiltered and relaxed, mirroring the kind of talk you'd have with colleagues at the end of a long week. You'll hear about the latest frameworks and tools, of course, but also the architectural debates, the frustrating bugs, and the career lessons learned the hard way. This isn't a lecture; it's a discussion among professionals who are deeply embedded in building the web's front end, dissecting what works, what doesn't, and why. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a table at a great tech conference's after-party, where the insights are as genuine as the laughter. It’s a chance to listen in on candid stories and practical advice, all shared over the clink of glasses. Whether you're deep into JavaScript or managing a team of developers, there's something here that resonates with the daily reality of the job.
