Imagine a mid-century cargo transportation system. You had to worry about a variety of goods in different shapes, sizes and types being transported smoothly from Point A to Point B, all requiring their own containers. Transportation in those days was cumbersome to say the least.
Code is transported in a similar way—from servers to the users' device in a cumbersome, old-school shipping containers. In this presentation, we explain how Docker automates the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere. In other words, the Docker application packages your code in a portable container for easy delivery.
Moboom serves as a unique case study for Docker. Find out how Moboom is using Docker and node.js to render sites of the future.
Talk about the company you worked for.22 pages -> 17 of which took over a second
Stress how things are BRITTLE.Marketing comes in and says “Hey we want to try out this new thing on the home page.” -> Are you kidding me we just finished the homepage?!Some analogy here?
Wordpress.com: something like 30,000 plugins and you can’t use ANY of them in a hosted environmentJira: we wanted something, but it wasn’t approved for hosted Jira. I BRIEFLY considered hosting our own. Then I was responsible for the instance. Version control. Patches. I just really didn’t want to do it. So what happened? We found a crappy work around, and we went without the feature.With Moboom:You don’t have to give up anything.You get the best of both worlds.
Back to my previous company.17 slow pagesWe spent months working through them. Ended up with something better, but not awesome.What if we’d only had 1 page that was slow?Time better spent on more productive thingsFlexible system, that would have encouraged us to try new things. We would have regained our agility.Would have enjoyed more of my 30’s.Best part of it is that all those other enhancements (CDN, Caching) are an added bonus. You can still do them and not feel like you are just trying to cover up a dirty little secret. Because your underlying foundation is as fast as it can be.
