Deploying web applications on Kubernetes, without the pain

There are many great reasons to host your web applications on Kubernetes, except that Kubernetes is really hard! In his session, Toby Bellwood, Product Lead Lagoon at amazee.io, outlined how the Lagoon team has removed most of the complexity from the process, enabling web developers to focus on web development, and not maintaining build systems.

In his talk, Thom Toogood, Head of Services for amazee.io, gave a hands-on demo of developing a Silverstripe project on Lagoon. You can watch the demo portion of his video below.
