Is your DevOps team struggling to optimize or “modernize” and manage hundreds or thousands of applications built on different technologies at different times? Even though modernizing existing apps will make them easier and faster to update as well as more available and scalable, the path to get there may not be easy to see. In this talk we will discuss ways to modernize in three mutually supportive ways:
- Ways of working: Adopting Lean and Agile techniques including design thinking.
- Architecture: Moving to microservices and APIs running on dynamic infrastructure
- Modern tooling: Development, delivery and management software supporting new ways of working and architecture
Modernization is a journey, not a switch that is flipped. A collection of applications being modernized will be improved over time.
Join Andrea Crawford and Eric Minick to understand why DevOps is essential for modern applications.
