Our goal is to make it easier for developers and DevOps to leverage the benefits of containerization without the headaches and hassle inherent in modern build cycles. — We’ve heard how developers struggle with the current Docker toolset and why container best practices don’t work. What can we do differently? At Slim.AI, we’re engineering a new workflow that puts developers in charge of how they build and optimize their containers, leading to fewer issues down stream, faster development…

To mitigate the challenges of deploying containers in production environments, to ensure consistency, and reduce risk, cloud providers and open-source engineers alike have authored plenty of articles enumerating their take on “container best practices.” We can summarize the main takeaways of these articles into these key learnings: Best Practice #1…

TL;DR: We interviewed more than 30 developers to hear how organizations are handling cloud-native software development and delivery today. We learned a lot, and realized there’s still a long way to go. — Modern application development has come a long way thanks to DevOps practices. But front-line engineers still struggle with building apps for modern cloud-native infrastructure. They face immature processes, toil with too much manual work and needless complexity, and lack the specialty knowledge necessary to deliver software within the current set…

Why We Founded Slim.AI — By Kyle Quest & John Amaral The world of cloud-native development and DevOps gets more complex — perhaps unnecessarily so — every day. Just looking at the CNCF Landscape diagram will make your head spin (it doesn’t even fit on one screen!) Imagine trying to be an expert in all…
