Today’s talk rests on a thesis

4. Business survival
depends upon a radically
faster software lifecycle
which can only be
enabled by microservices

5. Speeding up release cycle time is critical for business
What you initially
thought the goal was
What the
initial
optimal
solution was

Cycle time compression may
be the most underestimated
force in determining winners &
losers in tech. — Marc Andreessen

Challenges
● Fragmentation
● Data explosion
● Siloed teams
● Operational issues
● Skyrocketing MTTR

How to smoothly operate microservices?

A strategic guide
How to smoothly operationalize a microservices-based
architecture
● Pick the right place to start - one thing at a time
● Go slow to go fast - operationalize one service fully first
● Change the culture - adopt DevSecOps in earnest
● Choose the right tooling - the keys to the castle

To recap

21. 21
Tl;dr
Cloud native development and accelerating cycle time is
increasingly important to business survival.
To succeed, leaders must consolidate the tool stack to
provide ease of visibility, collaboration and governance
to their developers so they can move to microservices.
● Microservices and DevOps enable faster release cycles
● Going slow is the key to going fast - one service at a time
● Choose the right tooling will enable teams to make the
culture shift necessary
