IDEs and Beyond: Tools for Continuous Delivery
Gone are the days when a developer could get by with nothing more than a source code editor, compiler, and debugger. The modern cloud application developer needs to be comfortable dealing with a large array of tools to cover the entire software delivery lifecycle. Of course they need infrastructure for running unit tests, integration tests, and performance tests, but they also need tools for automating complex deployments to live staging and production environments, and tools for monitoring and measuring the live production application to measure the impact of their changes. This talk will survey some the best available tools for doing cloud application development, and demonstrate how they can be integrated together to create a continuous delivery tool chain. Surveyed tools will include Eclipse, Orion, Selenium, Jenkins, Slack, ELK, among others.
