His speaking history on Lanyrd
Managing a modern multi-component application in a continuous integration/deployment environment can be very tricky.
In this session we will concentrate on two of the aspects - environment setup, showcasing tools like Vagrant, Chef and Puppet for creating and controlling development, testing, staging, production and other environments and pushing the deliverables through those environments, using tools like Gradle, Jenkins and Artifactory.
Join us and get all the little tips and tricks that will help you rule your development world.
JFrog is handling huge amount of binaries files for all our customers. Since each customer has its own space and domain, using a global Object Store can be tricky.
Also our application cannot work with an “eventually consistent” storage, and cannot deliver customer requirements with current S3 performance.
Learn in this session how we managed fast upload, critical replication and backups, and global download availability of the terabytes of JFrog customer binaries files.
