Scaling for Global Growth with Modern Cloud
summary
Claims a platform-first move speeds global growth by combining serverless-first patterns with domain-driven, event-driven design. Uses AWS Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, DynamoDB and API Gateway, Backstage (hosted by Roadie), Databricks, ADRs and a Well‑Architected + SCORP cadence. Proof: a billing refactor (35 teams split from a monolith) cuts manual back-office toil ~80%, improves cash flow and feature throughput; rollout across ~30 teams and ~200 engineers by mid‑2023; a new agent already handles ~30,000 queries.
