In today's episode we're joined by Julian Shapiro and in this first part of a two-part episode, Julian talks about building Velocity. js and what he learned while building that project. Be sure to subscribe in whatever podcast app you use so you don't miss out on part-two, coming out this Friday.

Why build your own logging platform, CMS or Authentication service yourself when a managed tool or API can solve the problem for you?

With services covering authentication, messaging, monitoring, CMS, and more, Manifold will keep you on the cutting edge, so you can focus on building your project rather than focusing on problems that have already been solved.
