Field Guide to the Distributed Development Stack, 2014 by Andrew Odewahn

This project began while we were developing Atlas, O’Reilly Media’s next-generation publishing tool. It seemed like every day we were finding interesting new tools in the DevOps space, so I started a “Sticky” for the most interesting-looking tools so I could explore them later. At first, this worked fine. I was content to simply keep a list, where my only ordering criteria was “Huh, that looks cool. Someday when I have time, I’ll take a look at that,” in the same way you might buy an exercise DVD and then only occasion‐ ally pull it out and think “Huh, someday I’ll get to that.” But, as 1 anyone who has watched DevOps for any length of time can tell you, it’s a space bursting with interesting and exciting new tools, so my list and guilt quickly got out of hand.
