Software deployment evolves over time. In the 90s, a “deployment” might have meant issuing a new edition of your software via CD-ROM. Today, a deployment is often a multi-stage process. A new software build will undergo automated unit tests and integration tests, before being deployed to users. The deployment might only go out to a small percentage of total users initially, with that percentage going up as the deployment proves not to have bugs. Avi Cavale is the CEO of Shippable, a platform for DevOps. In this episode, we discussed deployments in the context of containers, including a discussion of what has become easier: microservices, feature flagging, and continuous delivery. He also discussed his experience building Shippable. Software Engineering Daily is looking for sponsors for Q3. If your company has a product or service, or if you are hiring, Software Engineering Daily reaches 23,000 developers listening daily.

Microservices are a widely adopted pattern for breaking an application up into pieces that can be well-understood by the individual teams within the company. Microservices also allow these individual pieces to be scaled independently and updated in isolation. Past Software Engineering Daily episodes have covered the microservice architectures of Twitter, Netflix, Google, Uber, and other companies. In today’s episode, I sit down with Rafael Schloming, who is building tools for microservices at Datawire. The post Microservices with Rafi Schloming appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
