The CI/CD and DevOps Blog

First off, a big thank you to all of those who attended the first Docker Meetup in Bangalore this past Sunday! It is amazing to witness the growth that Docker has experienced in the past few months. We at Shippable, are thrilled to be a part of the growth, and even more excited to integrate with Docker and help streamline the development process.

Grandiose aspirations aside, the event was a total success, with over 40+ Docker fans in attendance. Attendees came equipped with questions about Docker and the Shippable team, along with the dizzying amount of open source knowledge in the room, helped people solve their issues. Questions about basic Docker frameworks and migration across clouds using Docker were answered. Some folks even gave lightening talks on a Docker-related topic of their choosing.

Shippable is proud to be the organizer and host of the first Docker meetup in India on January 19, 2014 in Bengaluru India. Sign up for the meetup here.

We decided to Dockerize our software development workflow a few months ago, and we’ve never looked back since. We can develop faster, integrate faster, release faster. So much so, we also swapped out LXCs and started using Docker containers to run your build and test workloads on Shippable

Containerized software development is the future and it’s happening at Shippable. Come join us for a fun evening and share your Docker experiences with us.

2010 was a fabulous year. We had just shipped a massively successful product called ‘Kinect’ and my team at Microsoft was busy celebrating with no thought to what the future might bring. 

I was celebrating with everyone else, but I had one more reason. In 2008, a CVP (corporate vice president) had told me – “Don’t dream too big. Microsoft is like the New York Yankees – the starting 9 have already been decided. You should be glad to just be a part of the team. If you want to bat, go join the Devil Rays.” I had proven him wrong by dreaming bigger and advancing my career quite nicely in the Kinect team.
