## Summary

Bill Brock, COO, and Justin Schneck, CPO, of Peridio, discuss the challenges of managing IoT device fleets and their platform's approach to device-centric CI/CD. They explain why web development abstractions fail in embedded systems, highlighting the critical need for atomic updates to prevent 'bricked' devices from power failures or poor connectivity. The conversation covers the shift from simple sensors to complex edge AI, requiring collaborative workflows that bridge embedded engineers, data scientists, and web developers. They argue that current cloud providers offer scale but lack the necessary collaboration tools and safety nets for physical device distribution.
