Containers are still maturing, but when it comes to building, iterating, and running applications, containers offer a lot of benefits. During this breakout, Matt Richins will discuss the state of container services and demonstrate the process of getting a mobile application up and running on a cloud container service. We’ll look at modern mobile app architectures and compare a container deployment to a traditional CLI new server setup. Finally, we’ll discuss some of the challenges that arise when running containers beyond demo scale.   Web and Mobile coverage with New Relic Clay Smith, Developer Advocate, New Relic Clay will cover a broad overview of using New Relic for mobile and web applications, and get into the knitty-gritty technical details on practical applications you can implement within minutes.     FAQs   Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
