In this episode, our Accelerators Nawid, Remko, Santaji and Markus discuss virtualization and containerization. How these technologies were born and what these technologies have brought us and at what cost. We talk about the origins of containerization and what paved the way for its birth and what that has meant for the evolution of the web since its introduction. Containerization for one has had a huge effect on how we design our applications and infrastructure but it also means a shift in responsibility and a mindset change towards scalability, flexibility, security and overall design of our architecture and infrastructure.

If you're new to the world of containers or even if you're a veteran, either way this is a conversation worth listening to.

In this episode, our Accelerators Nawid, Phani, Remko, Santaji and our guest Zeger Hendriks discuss the differences between Trunk Based Development (TBD) and Feature Branching as repository strategies. We briefly talk about the emergence of these strategies and how  they have gained popularity and why. What makes these strategies work and what are the consequences? Is choosing one over the other a sign of maturity within your team and organization or is one strategy always the best? And should you combine them to create your own special flavour?

If you want to have an answer to all of the above and even more, then wait no longer and have a listen.

Whether you are working in a greenfield project or trying to mature within the confines of an existing project, this is a conversation worth listening to!
