But what about deployment?
Component Environment Zone Deployment Our abstractions
Deployment The process
The monolith
Track User Playlist The monolith Core entities

monolith The technology
The monolith The architecture Public API Internal API Public API
Strangler Internal API caching/ strangler Another BFF Many microservices Public Web Workers
The monolith The components Public API MoshiMoshi (Internal API) Public
Web Assets MoshiMoshi Comments (Internal API) Workers Cron Shell Migration
The monolith The hosts component statsd-exporter mtail statsd passenger- exporter

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!
