Stay productive and avoid time consuming code conflicts

My colleagues and I ran into some merge conflicts when working in a serverless application. These types of conflicts are quite common in this type of application as working with Open API and CloudFront templates as multiple developers usually need to update those files in a regular basis. Here is a link to a blog post we co-authored in December 2022 that discusses how to prevent those issues and make sure teams stay productive. Click the image to read more!

Fast-track microservices development with Docker Compose and Minikube

Microservices promise to significantly simplify application development. However without the right tools, complexity can quickly escalate.  Click on the image below to see my slides from ADDO 2021 and get an introduction on how these two tools can become the cornerstone of a team's journey into microservices.

Simplifying your life with Docker, Jenkins and Minikube

Deck from my presentation at the Milwaukee Code Camp. The topic of the talk was about enhancing project productivity and improving developer work-life balance by automating non value-add tasks using Docker, Jenkins and Minikube (Kubernetes). Indeed, it is estimated that 35 - 40 % of a developer's time in a project is used in tasks that do not add end user value (deploying, setting up environments, etc...). While these tasks are important and necessary, there is no reason  we cannot automate them and give that time back to the developer.
