Another Tuesday is here 🎉🎉
Sadly, we won’t be having our conversation tonight, but there’s an important announcement.
Based on feedback from some of us who have engaged in the conversations so far, we’ve decided to make a little adjustment to how we have conversations.
It also needs to be fast, and you’re to make it possible for users to see deployment history.
What do you think are very important components/services of such a system, and how will you build them?
