Reproducibility of your development environment
Marcos Vanetta
- Audience level:
- Novice
Description
"Reproducible" is not a new word in science, but it can be a surprise for newcomers that they also need to have reproducible software environments. What was working yesterday may not work today, but there is a way to prevent that and that's what we are going to explore. We will take a sneak peek at different open source solutions to help maintain a reproducible, shareable environment.
Abstract
- I will define a reproducible development environment while getting input from the audience. We will consider programming language, dependencies, services, database engines, and data while coming up with this definition.
- I will introduce open source solutions and best practices to specify environments. I will talk about conda, virtualenv, pyenv, etc. And I'll describe tools like docker or SaaS solutions to have reproducible environments.
- I will present tools to publish environments like Anaconda.org and Github.
