summary
Argues that combining microservices, open source tools and cross‑functional teams beats monolithic buying for consistent customer experience; teams build a fast data architecture on top of legacy systems, use Kafka to stream events (the platform can handle massive event rates) and synchronize 200 systems into real‑time models. Started by extracting two or three services from a spaghetti monolith, iterates in short cycles, and reports steadily improving personalization though early work is messy and requires strong DevOps and domain collaboration.
