Discover’s Journey to Cloud Native — Dean Parke (Discover) Mike Koleno (Solstice)
summary
Discover commits to a multi-year replatform to cloud-native, adopting Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring Boot, shifting from 12-week releases to daily commits via scrum XP practices, pair programming and CI/CD. A pilot fails fast, is instrumented, then succeeds; three teams run the model now with plans for five. Monoliths are strangled into microservices, turning one app from 44k to 6k lines of code and trading bulky deployments for many small, manageable services and config components.
