Earthly Builds with Adam Gordon Bell

Build automation tools automate the process of building code, including steps such as compiling, packaging binary code, and running automated tests. Because of this, build automation tools are considered a key part of a continuous delivery pipeline. Build automation tools read build scripts to define how they should perform a build. Common build scripts include Makefile, Dockerfile, and bash. 

Earthly is a build automation tool that allows you to execute all your builds in containers. Earthly uses Earthfiles, which draws from the best features of Makefile and Dockerfile and provides a common layer between language-specific tooling and the CI build spec. Earthly builds are repeatable, isolated, and self-contained, and will run the same way across different environments such as a CI system or a developer’s laptop. 

In this episode we spoke with Adam Gordon Bell who works in developer relations at Earthly. Adam is also the host of the CoRecursive podcast.

Another Monday morning. Sprint stand-up. Your next task is … drumroll… building an app integration. RIP. Excited to spend the next month getting your hands on developer API keys, fiddling with Oauth, testing SOAP requests, and debugging a poorly documented API? We didn’t think so either.

Now, what if there were an easier way?

Meet Merge: a Unified API for B2B apps. Instead of building lots of integrations to widely varying APIs, you can integrate with a single API and support any integration your customers want. Think of Merge as a universal translator, a Roseta Stone for APIs. Merge returns normalized data across 100s of integrations, all synced continuously, and available in REST API. No SOAP or web scraping required.

Engineering teams at Ramp, TripActions, and Drata use Merge to build dozens of integrations in weeks, speed up time to market, and make their customers happy.

If you’re working on integrations with accounting, CRM, HR, project management, recruiting, ticketing apps, and more, check out Merge today at www.merge.dev/sedaily.
