Everyone's talking about Microservices. Everyone's considering doing Microservices. Everyone's starting to use Microservices. And then everyone discovers how hard it is to develop Microservices on your local machine. Join me as we discover project "Tye," which simplifies Microservices development and flattens the learning curve of getting your services into production up and running.

conventions
Add dependencies (Redis, SQL
Server, etc.) without writing
docker files
Run and debug locally using
containers and Kubernetes
Local dashboard for metrics,
logging, debugging
Automatically dockerize and deploy
to a Kubernetes cluster
