The Dev Times #64

Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.

devenv – fast and reproducible developer environments

Devenv is offering a new way to build, share and run your local development environment – with a single unified command. Any widely used package will work with devenv too, resulting in over 80,000 compatible packages. Moreover, the devenv team opted for a declarative approach to defining your development processes, with support from a wide range of community modules; including heavy hitters like PostgreSQL, Redis and MySQL. The project itself is open source, so please have a look for yourself and maybe even contribute! Dive in ›
