Hello, London! ☕ 👋 We’re live at #KubeCon! Swing by the 2nd floor of the Platinum Suite (right by the coffee spot) and come say hi to the Flox team. We’ll be there till 4 PM today! We’d love to chat, show you what we’re building, and hear what you’re up to!

#KubeCon

Every new tool or abstraction we adopt solves one problem but creates others.

This is the story of discovering Nix. Of stepping away from the madness of layer upon layer of abstraction.

Of learning to love a deterministic approach to building software.

I’ll be speaking at Cloud Native Days LA in #SCaLE22x about leveraging #nix / #nixos to build pretty small container images. I’ll make an attempt at showing you the benefits of using something like Nix to do this, and daydream about possible future integrations. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Flox and Containers = the Best of Both Worlds 🌍

🛠️ Develop locally with Flox for convenience
📦 Deploy Flox environments as containerized artifacts for CI and prod
🔁 Get reproducibility with determinism and ⛔ no bloat

Some of you may know that I play in a metal band in my spare time. A year ago, we released our first EP, "Set Me Free". To celebrate, we're finally releasing our live video we made that night! I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a listen. 😁
