Some great applications that power our lives use polyglot programming models. Every language has its advantages and disadvantages, so why not make use of all of them? Yet, how does that affect how we build and deploy our applications, and are there any risks involved?
Loads of build tools exist, but none have all the capabilities that Paketo provides with support for so many languages. It’s an open-source tool that lets developers point to a directory of the most popular programming languages and have Pakito build that application into a container image, JVM, runtime and all.
In this talk, I will introduce this new build technology, discuss its benefits, and demonstrate how simple it is to get started by building a simple application locally and deploying it into an accessible container.
