NixCon 2020: Online Edition

Remote deployments with NixOS and Nixops at Yakkertech
2020-10-16 , Main Stream

At Yakkertech we use NixOS and Nixops to deploy software in a safe, reproducible, and manageable way to our embedded baseball pitch tracking machines installed in ball fields in the US.


In this talk I'll discuss what we do at Yakkertech, some of the software and computer-related challenges that this brings, the aspects of NixOS that help us address these challenges and why we chose it, how we use it in practice, and our experience of having used it.

Aden is the CTO of Yakkertech, and is a software developer, engineer, and physicist by training.
He has been using Linux since 1994, and Nix for the past 2 years.
He is passionate about math, computers, functional programming, and open source software.
