Most of the cryptography securing the internet today rests on mathematical problems that classical computers cannot solve in any reasonable timeframe. That assumption is now being tested. Recent advances in quantum computing have dramatically compressed timelines, and many in the industry have set a target of full post-quantum security by 2029, meaning a complete migration to algorithms designed to remain secure against quantum attacks.
Bas Westerbaan is a cryptography engineer at Cloudflare, where he leads the company’s efforts to migrate to post-quantum cryptography. In this episode, Bas joins Kevin Ball to discuss how quantum computers threaten public key cryptography, what post-quantum algorithms actually are and how they work, the timeline shifts that have made quantum readiness feel so urgent, and what software engineers need to do now to prepare their systems.
Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.

Every AI team eventually hits the same wall. The models are solid, the infra is solid, but the data coming in is hours old because the pipeline is batch when it should be streaming and nobody’s had time to fix it. That’s not a modeling problem. That’s a pipeline problem.
Estuary gives you CDC, batch, and streaming in one platform. 200 plus connectors, live in hours, not weeks. Your AI is only as good as your pipeline. estuary.dev

If you’re running Postgres in production, you’ve probably felt the moment analytical queries start fighting your transactional workload. Most teams end up adding a second database and all the pipeline complexity that comes with it.
Tiger Data, creators of TimescaleDB, takes a different approach. We extend Postgres with hybrid row and columnar storage so one table handles both writes and analytical scans. Native Compression cuts storage costs up to 95%. Continuous aggregates keep dashboards live without batch jobs. And it scales to petabytes without you re-architecting.
Companies like Cloudflare, Octave Energy, Schneider, Axpo, and Flowco run production workloads on Tiger Data today.
No stale data. No second system to operate. Just Postgres, managed for you, ready for the workload you’re building toward.Try it free at tigerdata.com
