I don't know how I ever lived without Architect. I'm a 2X co-founding CTO so I'm always on the hunt for ways to speed up time-to-MVP.
With Architect I've spent just a few hours on devops at my current startup. Total. It was dead simple to spin up my fully functioning app with a load balancer, app servers, job queue, cache, DB, CI/CD, etc. But the best part is I haven't lost flexibility to scale as needed. Oh, and I get a production-like dev environment, staging and even preview environments out of the box with no extra work.
As a startup CTO responsible for developing a new product, the last thing I wanted to focus on was my DevOps & deployment strategy. I'd used Heroku in the past (which comes with its own set of challenges), and I had no time to learn about the inner workings of cloud providers or K8S. I was very familiar with Docker and local development, and I had always wondered why I couldn't use the same patterns to deploy my applications in the cloud.
This is exactly the problem that Architect has solved for me. It extends the familiarity of Docker to the world of production environments. You write a Docker compose file with a few extra configuration options, and that powers your local Docker AND production k8s environments.
I can't recommend Architect enough to fellow CTOs and developers. If you're in the process of launching a new service or looking to simplify your production deployment strategy, give Architect a try.
If you're a developer with deep understanding of the tech, people, and processes of Ops, deployment may be just one more step in the dev chain. But for many humans that's not the case. If we're lucky we sometimes collaborate across teams to build and maintain effective CI/CD- and in a prefect world CD&D. But even then, dependency unknown unknowns can still push us into frantic troubleshooting or worse, weekend deployments. I love the idea of letting the platform solve the "It worked on my laptop" problem to let me focus on the creative work I enjoy.
I use nestjs. After a quick look at the product introduction, it is a great efficiency tool that not only simplifies local container deployment, but also makes online deployment flexible and diverse, which is worthy of praise. I will comment after using it, the first impression is good.
