Pixi: Where Reproducibility and Collaboration Come Together
May 15 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Managing software environments today often feels like stitching together a patchwork of tools — each comes with its own dependencies and quirks. For teams, this modular setup often leads to inconsistent environments, onboarding headaches, and bloated READMEs.
Enter Pixi — an all-in-one package and workflow manager powered by Rust and conda. Whether you’re working solo or with a team, Pixi streamlines your workflow and removes the friction from project setup and sharing.
With Pixi, you get:
- One command to spin up a project and its environment
- A powerful built-in task runner for automation and collaboration
- Cross-platform support and lightning-fast performance
- A single tool to replace `conda`, `pip`, `task/just`, `homebrew`, `apt`, and `winget`
Join our event with Ruben Arts to explore how Pixi is reshaping developer workflows.
About the Speaker
With an academic background in Mechatronics, Ruben Arts spent several years applying his knowledge and skills in the robotics industry. During this time, he experienced firsthand how fragmented package management systems hinder developer productivity and collaboration. This sparked his interest in package management and led him to join prefix.dev, a company dedicated to improving the developer experience through modern package management solutions. Ruben plays a central role in maintaining the Pixi codebase, an open-source project aimed at streamlining environment and dependency management, and supporting its growing contributor community.
