Taming Complexity through Automation
summary
Argues that reducing accidental complexity requires tooling that actually scaffolds, enforces and runs code, not platitudes: shows a containerised Spryker Development Environment that ships templates and building blocks to generate services and components on demand, enforces conventions with CI-integrated static analysis and fixers, and treats infrastructure as code so apps are cloud-ready containers—the demo wires templates into version control and CI to stop manual setup and repetitive edits, letting teams keep productivity when projects grow.
