Andrew Evans talks about the versatility of Firebase CLI utility and its use as a platform for younger developers with little experience on CI/CD or any type of cloud deployment. It took Andrew a year to get proficient in Jenkins whereas with CircleCI he had a much easier learning curve. Andrew then mentions another article he wrote entitled “How the AngularFire Library makes Firebase feel like Magic”.They also discuss whether CircleCI matches up to Jenkins on a larger scale workflow deployment. Andrew gives the example of a weather app named “Goose Weather” he is working on that uses “NgRx” that has a more robust workflow. He mentions that initially he was working on it for a CapitalOne blog but then took it up as a side project and started working on it by himself. They decide that even though Jenkins owns the market on large scale workflows, CircleCI’s ease of use is a very strong feature. Andrew also mentions that although he didn’t have a chance to test CircleCI on a high-level enterprise project, he feels that it would be a good experience. They also briefly compare the Jenkins and CircleCI on ease of rollbacks and license fees.Shai shares his own experience of how he also really likes Netlify because it automates the commit process like CircleCI. They briefly touch on DevOps.Andrew shares his own experience using CircleCI to do deployments to AWS. He feels the documentation and the blogs really help with the learning process. Andrew explains the meaning of:EWS: Elastic Container ServiceALB: Application Load BalancerELB: Elastic Load Balancer”The panelists jokingly wonder whether Andrew should give them 50% of his profits from the weather app Goose Weather because he basically outed himself to CapitalOne on the show by revealing he was working on it on the side.     LinksDeploying to Firebase with CircleCIhttps://blog.angularindepth.com/how-the-angular-fire-library-makes-firebase-feel-like-magic-1fda375966bbhttps://goose-weather.firebaseapp.com/weatherhttps://github.com/andrewevans02https://twitter.com/AndrewEvans0102https://rhythmandbinary.com/https://medium.com/@andrew_evansAIA-099-firebase-and-angularfire2-with-david-east-and-jeff-cross/PicksShai Resnick:http://exploringjs.comhttps://youtu.be/gwlevtaC-u0Joe Eames:Movie: Alita: Battle Angelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7pYhpJaJW8Charles Wood:The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right by Atul GawandiThe Effective Executive by Peter Druckerhttps://www.2000books.com/-by-Mani-VayaAndrew Evans:Artemis by Andy Weirhttps://www.traversymedia.com/ Special Guest: Andrew Evans.
