But what about deployment?
Component Environment Zone Deployment Our abstractions
Deployment The process
The monolith

monolith The technology

Utilization Deployment Lack of confidence The monolith The issues
Containerizing the monolith
Throw it into Kubernetes
Congrats, your monolith is a microservice now
Thank You!

work?

Current status
On-prem Cloud Current status Number of pods ~1000 ~140
On-prem RPS Cloud RPS Current status Traffic 25K 3K
Current status Many deploys
Conclusions
One Infrastructure One Delivery Process Conclusions What we solved
Step by step Controlled rollouts Managing expectations Conclusions How we
did it
Improved utilization Increased confidence Enabling new initiatives Conclusions Benefits
Assess current progress Evaluate costs and benefits Conclusions Should you
do it?
Thank You!
