While working on the 18th post of The Software Architecture Chronicles, which is about implementing a proof of concept, I picked up the Symfony demo app and started refactoring away…

I started by cleaning up the project a bit and adding some functionality I like to have for better DevEx (development experience), but after some 20 commits I got annoyed with it and decided to try to get the environment as best as I could.

More or less at the same time, at work, we are currently moving to containers, and Kubernetes, and this would be a nice project to start diving into that.

So here it is, “The Containerization Chronicles”, a series of posts where I will be describing my experiments and learnings about the containers world.

I will be using the same repository as I will use for The Software Architecture Chronicles, so you will be able to access all the code there.
