When Deloitte Platform Engineering teams start on a new client, we bring with us our development processes that help deliver value.
These processes continuously improve as they are applied to many, many engagements and evolve as trends and industry consensus change. This means that we can have all the maturity that...

Versioning is important. I do not have to tell you this. Yet, I see it done poorly over and over again.
The deficiencies I usually encounter are a lack of unambiguous developer and release processes and poor tooling support. If your developers sit there wondering how to do certain tasks, then the process is broken....

In this version, they have introduced a "start-up performance improvement" that effectively causes a tight coupling between the wrapper and the runtime container.

At Deloitte Platform Engineering, we have been building containerised platforms for a few years now. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform has been our weapon of choice in many of these instances, complementing a solid Kubernetes foundation.

This is 2016. If you are still spending macro-efforts developing microservices, there is something seriously wrong. These days, there are plenty of tools and frameworks at the disposal of the discerning developer to rapidly build microservices.
To demonstrate this, we will build a quick microservice here together....
As we dawdle till every facet of our lives are containerised, we still find ourselves in need of ways to automate provisioning of actual servers and operating systems. My current favourite way to do this is through Ansible.
There are a few reasons why I prefer Ansible over its heavier-weight peers, like Chef or Puppet
If you followed my previous rambling, you might feel like we are due for some hands-on Dockering. So let’s get technical!
There are plenty of Docker “tutorials” out there. They show you step-by-step what to do, but I believe that, more often than not, they fail to tell you why. And by the time you finish these...
Docker has just turned two and it has been a heck of a two years. Looking back, describing its rise as meteoric now seems like such a misnomer as there is no sign of slowing down.

Here at Deloitte Platform Engineering, we have been watching the rise of this technology with great interest. There...
