Lift & Shift, Cut Overs, and other Bad Habits

The last time you moved, you had that box. You haven’t opened it in years. You still haven’t opened it but you carry it around with you like a treasured keepsake. Unfortunately, we moved to the cloud the same way. We brought all of our habits, practices, and patterns without considering which may be strengths or weaknesses. In this session, we’ll skip the tools and take a look at our new constraints and capabilities the cloud gives us. Through this, we’ll explore three architectural Cloud Design Patterns - Circuit Breaking, the Strangler, and Pub/Sub - to make our systems more reliable, more maintainable, and probably cheaper to run.
