Swift Roundup #10: Infrastructure as a Template

What do Google's new project, IDX, and IaaT (Infrastructure as a Template) have in common? They will both significantly improve your Developer Experience (DevEx).

🏗️ IaaT: Infrastructure as a Template

In the era of platform engineering, the focus is no longer on the maintenance and ongoing work of developers’ infrastructure by DevOps/SRE engineers. Instead, the aim is to produce infrastructure templates that developers can readily utilize — templates that are accessible, easy to maintain, and modifiable.

🔗 IDX by Google

IDX is based on VSCode. The vision is full fidelity local environment with AI smarts. e.g. you get quicker starting points for apps using a popular framework, a Linux-based VM in a datacenter near you, quick deploys to Firebase Hosting and (soon) Android + iOS simulators in-browser.
