Session
"It works on my machine" is the developer equivalent of "the dog ate my homework"—and we've all been there.
Picture this: Your dev environment is a beautiful snowflake. So is your teammate's. And production? That's a whole different animal. Now imagine if they were all... the same. Not just similar. Actually identical.
But here's the kicker: what if that identical environment was also actually secure? Not "we ran a scanner once" secure, but "built from the ground up with security baked in" secure. Zero known vulnerabilities instead of the usual 200+, complete software bill of materials included.
This talk is about ditching the chaos and building environments that are consistent, secure by default, and work the same whether you're coding at 2am or deploying to production.
We'll explore Dev Containers and Wolfi—practical patterns that'll make your life easier, your deployments more reliable, and your security team actually happy for once.
