Stateful Applications in Containers: Challenging the 12 Factor App Principles

Explore the evolution of stateful applications in containers in this insightful conference talk by Steve Wong from {code}. Delve into the changing landscape of application architecture since the introduction of the "12 factor app" in 2011, which advocated for stateless applications. Examine how container technologies, such as Docker, have advanced rapidly, challenging established design patterns. Learn about open source projects that now support running stateful services alongside stateless ones, including Kubernetes StatefulSet. Gain valuable insights into current best practices and available support for deploying stateful services on popular open source platforms. Discover proposals and works-in-progress in this field, and understand why it's crucial to periodically reassess design patterns in rapidly advancing technologies.
