Presentation Outline

Title: The 12 Factor App

Abstract:

Richard Schneeman from Heroku will discuss The 12 Factor App (http://www.12factor.n…) which will serve as a walkthrough of the elements to keep in mind while designing your application and its long voyage in production. The operational strain caused by SaaS induced rapid development lifecycles and continuous integration must be understood and addressable. This methodology will help position teams to overcome these challenges.
