There is no law of physics saying software builds should take more than two seconds 😜.

The current world of ad-hoc local development is very frustrating: the larger the project, the more painful it is to develop.

Projects take a long time to build and waste developer time. Builds use a lot of CPU, RAM and drain all laptop battery 😞.

...

Besides, integration tests currently happen very late in the delivery process. So we tend to run only small (and less useful) tests during local development and many problems are only found much later in the process 😭.

But fret not 🕺. At YourBase, we are working on a very cool service that deploys test stacks to the cloud from local code, in seconds.

The image below shows our VS Code extension. It sends the local code to our build service, which builds, deploys and (optionally) runs integration tests. It can deploy whole stacks, too!

Everything is sped up by our incremental build service, so people can get feedback on their code much earlier than usual.

Want to join the waitlist to try this? Let us know!

Seattle-based YourBase Founder Yves Junqueira, previously a Site Reliability Engineer at Google for almost a decade, took a stronger stance against small businesses wandering down the microservices route. “The companies that benefit from microservices are those that need to innovate quickly and are planning to grow their development team past ten engineers or so. On the other hand, companies with products that rarely change would probably not see any benefit from microservices,” he began.

Microservices are all the rage, with huge brands like Amazon, Google and Netflix adopting the architecture. But the burning question is, why?
