#116 Infrastructure as Effects with Sam Goodwin

About this episode

Sam Goodwin discusses reinventing Infrastructure as Code with Alchemy and the Alchemy Effect project.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is "code" but without most of the benefits of being code. Sam Goodwin is reinventing IaC with Alchemy and an upcoming Alchemy Effect project which aims to manage infrastructure dependencies & provisioning in the same way we manage requirements in Effect Oriented Programming.
