Untangling Cloud Infrastructure with Cory o’Daniel - EMx 168

Elixir Mix

In this episode the panel chats with Cory o’Daniel which is one of the founders of massdriver.cloud where they try to give teams the tools to deploy production-ready, best-practice, and secure cloud infrastructure. The panel talks about the the various options for running software in the cloud - from SAAS providers, like Heroku, to full-fledged cloud providers like AWS - and the tradeoffs these options introduce for the average developer. They go over Cory’s history and how he experienced the pains of some of these trade-offs himself which prompted him to create Massdriver. They also explore which parts of Massdriver are powered by Elixir, and which not. Sponsors
