Faster Dev Feedback and Previews with Livecycle




DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling show

Summary: <p>Bret is joined by Matan Mishan &amp; Roy Razon of Livecycle to discuss developer platforms and how to improve developer collaboration and speeding up feedback and previews.</p><p><br>We talk about the various delays encountered in pull requests due to feedback processes, and how Lifecycle's tools aim to shorten this feedback loop in Docker Desktop, local CLI with Preevy, and automated CI workflows. I like how Lifecycle provides multiple locations and ways to get access to people in the preview environments that really lets you just fit the different parts of the tool into your workflow, as opposed to one way to do everything. It's great for getting feedback quickly during the PR process, rather than making people set up their own environments to test their changes. I also liked their ideas around how the feedback loops can be improved.</p><p><strong>This episode contains great demos so be sure to also check out the </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/0Jw_Mxe__b8?si=3zvI73e4G1yylLEN&amp;t=404"><strong>live recording </strong></a><strong>of the complete show from December 21, 2023 on YouTube (Ep. #246). </strong></p><p>★Topics★<br><a href="https://livecycle.io/">Livecycle's Website</a><br><a href="https://github.com/livecycle/preevy">Preevy Repository</a><br><a href="https://hub.docker.com/extensions/livecycle/docker-extension">Livecycle Docker Extension</a></p><p><strong>Creators &amp; Guests</strong></p><ul> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/bret-fisher">Bret Fisher</a> - Host</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/matan-mishan">Matan Mishan</a> - Guest</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/roy-razon">Roy Razon</a> - Guest</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/beth-fisher">Beth Fisher</a> - Producer</li> <li> <a href="https://podcast.bretfisher.com/people/cristi-cotovan">Cristi Cotovan</a> - Editor</li> </ul> <ul> <li>(00:00) - Intro</li> <li>(01:57) - Internal Developer Platform: a self-service solution</li> <li>(06:38) - Lifecycle and the Docker Extension</li> <li>(24:10) - Using GitHub Environments</li> <li>(27:46) - First Steps and What's Next</li> </ul> <br><p><strong>You can also support my free material by subscribing to my </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BretFisher"><strong>YouTube</strong></a><strong> channel and my weekly newsletter at </strong><a href="https://bret.news/"><strong>bret.news</strong></a><strong>!</strong></p><p>Grab the best <strong>coupons</strong> for my <a href="https://www.bretfisher.com/courses"><strong>Docker and Kubernetes courses</strong></a><strong>.<br></strong>Join my cloud native <strong>DevOps community</strong> <a href="https://devops.fan/"><strong>on Discord</strong></a><strong>.<br></strong>Grab some <strong>merch</strong> at <a href="https://bretfisher.myspreadshop.com/"><strong>Bret's Loot Box</strong></a><br>Homepage <a href="https://bretfisher.com/"><strong>bretfisher.com</strong></a></p>
