Running your code in containers is a great way manage and deploy software. All of the code needed to run your app is inside one or more containers. You can move these containers from environment to enviornment by creating images and running these images in each environment (as containers). If you’re using Docker, or a similar alternative, you already know all of this. That’s great but how are you managing security within each container?

Golang is a hot topic among developers these days. languages like Golang and node.js are getting a lot of attention. For most folks switching programing languages is a big deal and it usually takes some production catastrophe or poorly aging codebase to motivate the switch. It’s like when someone has that way too special night with tequila and decides “never again.” For others they switch and/or experiment with other languages like they change their socks.

I recently moderated a panel called Scaling your business with technology at Silicon Beach Fest. I want to thank all the panelists for coming and giving the crowd their tech insights. We had a good discussion across a breadth of issues, from stacks, to clouds to testing and product iterations. I would also like to thank all the folks who came to watch the panel and ask questions.

In technology nothing stays constant, so why should the Erdiko framework? This is leading to a new architecture for this micro MVC framework.

A few months back I wrote about headless WordPress on the Arroyo Labs blog, http://blog.arroyolabs.com/2016/02/headless-wordpress-a-primer/ Since then I have made a bunch of improvements to the package on github. Take a look and let me know what you think. We’ll continue to make improvements to the code to make working with WordPress that much easier. https://github.com/ArroyoLabs/erdiko-wordpress If you don’t know what headless WordPress is, it’s a way to run WP as your CMS (admin) yet use another framework/app to theme your content.
