workflow.md

This is what a workflow should, and possibly will look like in the (very) near future:

Prerequisites

• install node
• install docker
• know what's up
• install yo

Step 1

• yo docker
• specify what's up

Step 2

• yo backend
• Instant BaaS (backend as a service)

Step 3

• yo angular / yo ember / yo marionette
• specify your view engine
• specify your style engine

Step 4

• grunt
• build your app

Step 5

• git push deploy
• ???
• profit

Time elapsed

1. 20 seconds
2. 30 seconds
3. 20 seconds
4. ??
5. 10 seconds

Requirements

• Generators should work together nicely
• Docker needs to mature a bit (aka windows / OS-X support)
• Docker providers should support heroku-style git pushes (step 5 only)

This is a different approach than the traditional setup of your server/glue code/database/user permissions/build files. BaaS might strike you as odd, but for small applications (think < 50 users) it might be just the thing you need. If you ever need to scale you can just swap REST backends, no sweat.

• JS conf talk
• Hoodie BaaS
• Yo & Yeoman
• docker
