We return once again to Continuous Integration tooling, this time with a visual spin. Mike Fotinakis (https://twitter.com/mikefotinakis) joins

Mark (https://twitter.com/Neurotic) and Melanie (https://twitter.com/nyghtowl) to discuss how they use Google Cloud Platform

to develop Percy (https://percy.io), the platform for continuous visual reviews for web apps.
