Description

Do you believe in simplicity and efficiency over complexity and brute force? Are you not afraid to look forward with fresh thinking? Then buckle up this talk is for you, this talk challenges the status quo and proposes a radical rethinking of App development.

App deployment is a complex and time-consuming process. It requires OS installers, package management tools, configuration recipes, install and deployment scripts, server tuning, hardening and more.

But... Is this really necessary? Are we trapped in a mindset of doing things this way just because that's how they've always done?  What if you could start over and radically simplify all this? What if, within seconds, and with a single command, you could wrap your application into the bare minimal machine required to run it? What if this machine could then run unchanged on your workstation and in the cloud? It takes Continuous Delivery and the Cloud up to 11. Live demo included.
