Episode notes

Pushing container-based technologies like Docker and Kubernetes as the only standard for shipping things around is unlikely to happen.
Standardizing the supply chain solely based on Docker containers and Kubernetes at the application level may result in blind spots.
There is a need to standardize the supply chain on something other than Docker containers and Kubernetes.
One possible approach is to standardize how the factory itself is shipped to the edge.
The analogy of a software factory may limit our perception of manufacturing.

This week we’re joined by Solomon Hykes, the creator of Docker. Now he’s back with his next big thing called Dagger — CI/CD as code that runs anywhere. We’re users of Dagger so check out our codebase if you want to see how it works. On today’s show Solomon takes us back to the days of Docker, what it was like on that 10 year journey, his transition from Docker to Dagger, Dagger’s community-led growth model, their focus on open source and community, how it works, and even a cameo from Kelsey Hightower to explain how Dagger works.
