- technomancy 15y agoSome projects are self-contained, and for those you don't need any supporting infrastructure outside the runtime of your language. But once you start dealing with _systems_ where it's very particular about the specific version/configuration of the database or message queueing system, it's much less error-prone to have that automated. For that you need control of a whole machine, virtual or not. I wrote a blog post about a similar approach applied to local VMs: http://technomancy.us/150 http://technomancy.us/150
