Project: Open-sourced our internal developer platform - feedback wanted
Timeline: 4 months
Team: 2 engineers
Budget: $138k
Challenge:
We needed to migrate to cloud while maintaining 99.99% SLA.
Solution:
We implemented a strangler fig pattern using:
- Terraform for IaC
- Feature flags
- DevSecOps integration
Results:
✓ Cost: -60%
✓ Developer satisfaction up 80%
✓ Customer experience enhanced
Happy to discuss our approach and share learnings!
Interesting. Our team went with Y instead due to Z constraints.
Security team blocked this due to compliance requirements.
Did you use version X or Y? We found Y more stable. Trying to build a business case for management.
The migration path we took:
Week 1-2: Research & POC
Week 3-4: Staging deployment
Week 5-6: Prod rollout (10% -> 50% -> 100%)
Week 7-8: Optimization
Total cost: ~200 eng hours
Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Has anyone else encountered issues with ArgoCD when running in AWS us-east-1? We're seeing intermittent failures during peak traffic. Our setup: microservices with New Relic. Starting to wonder if we should switch to Kubernetes.
