This week we talk to Vlad A Ionescu about Earthly, a build automation framework that helps you with containerizing your builds such that they behave the same way no matter where you run them. By using Earthly, you can run your entire CI scripts locally on your laptop with the same consistency as you would get in the CI, and be able to debug things faster, iterate faster, and get faster feedback. Join us as we talk about the challenges of building a CI service, the importance of understanding the business side of things, and how to price your product. https://earthly.dev https://earthly.dev/blog/shutting-down-earthly-ci/ https://twitter.com/VladAIonescu https://vladaionescu.com Sponsored By Raycast (https://www.raycast.com/) Become a paid subscriber our patreon, spotify, or apple podcasts for the full episode. https://www.patreon.com/devtoolsfm https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/devtoolsfm/subscribe https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/devtools-fm/id1566647758 https://www.youtube.com/@devtoolsfm/membership Tooltips Andrew https://docs.axflow.dev/guides/models/getting-started.html https://www.hyperdx.io/ Justin https://www.burnerapp.com/ https://www.bhoite.com/sculptures/boron-lander/ Vlad https://github.com/moby/buildkit
