My first Perl Toolchain Summit has come to a close and it was amazing and productive. I spent a lot of my time containerizing MetaCPAN, talking and helping other groups with Docker solutions for their projects, and laying out future work and directions. All of which would have been difficult if it weren’t for the summit bringing everyone together.
A workflow to create base level images was developed with automatic generation and uploading to docker hub via Travis and Docker Hub. These details were shared with all in attendance who were interested.
It’s with great honour that I will be attending the Perl Toolchain Summit in Marlow England. Taking place from April 25 to 28.
Olaf, Leo and I have been discussing MetaCPAN infrastructure and with the work that’s been done in getting docker containers running for developers migrating that to running containers on the existing infrastructure.
Images will be maintained using the combination of GitHub, Travis, and Docker Hub as outlined in this blog post by Vaidik Kapoor on Medium.
Tonight I gave a talk at Toronto Perl Mongers discussing MetaCPAN, Mojolicious, and OpenAPI this is a result of the work that was done at meta::hack 3 this past November.
The idea of the talk is to take the work that was done and provide examples and greater detail as to how to implement a project using OpenAPI and Mojolicious.
The talk was very well received, and as I was running MetaCPAN in a number of docker containers for demonstration purposes and interesting conversation on containers started.
Building off the work that done at this years meta::hack, I participated in Mojolicious Advent Calendar with an article on MetaCPAN, Mojolicious, and OpenAPI.
This article documents the steps that were taken to document and implement the MetaCPAN’s Search API using OpenAPI. There was a lot more involved in the process and a number of endpoints were documented, however that would have made the article super huge.
Olaf has created a really great summary of the work that was done during meta::hack this year. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of interesting work was done. Including some proverbial “Friday night at 5pm deployments” (actual time was Sunday immediately before boarding a plane).
