From a Backend Developer to DevOps - THE FORCE AWAKENS
summary
Migrating a 400+ microservice fleet across two cloud providers while supporting ~130 developers, this talk shows concrete choices: Helm over Python DSL for Kubernetes, Jenkins + CloudFormation + Chef for CI/CD, and a documented process of discovery sessions, collaboration hours and a documentation feedback loop. Expect actionable artifacts — lazy how-to guides that became official docs, metrics (over two years of migration work, 136 developers, 410 services) and adoption tactics like discovery sessions that win buy‑in and reduce rework.
