Improving Dev Experience: How We Built a Cloud Native Dev Stack At Scale
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 · on Thursday, 2021-10-14· at 11:00· Petree Hall D + Online·
summary
Razorpay builds a cloud native “dev stack” that lets hundreds of engineers run ephemeral service fleets on EKS using devspace file sync to hot‑reload local code into remote containers, helmfile service fleets plus helm hooks and localstack for ephemeral AWS resources, Traefik header‑based routing with header propagation, and autoscaler/cleanup tooling. It cuts feature rollout from ~5 hours to ~30 minutes and iteration latency from 20–30 minutes to ~2 minutes, and runs at scale across 100+ microservices.
