Description:

We wanted an easier way of creating and deploying microservices implemented in different tech stacks. We wanted it as simple as PaaS platforms like Heroku. On the other hand, we did not want to miss the high level of customizability with IaaS like AWS.

So, we blended the benefits of these two. i.e. utmost convenience with high-level of customizability.

Instead of taking the route of Puppet, Chef, Ansible etc. , we built a CLI tool in Python that enables our developers to create & deploy service with a single command. We call this cloudlift :). It's been more than a year since we started using it and it's been fantastic.

You will learn about our journey of building and using cloudlift.

Prerequisites:
