Highway to Heaven – Building Microservices in the Cloud
summary
AutoScout24 rewrites a Windows/.NET, VMware datacenter into an AWS-based platform called Tatsu, migrating to Linux/JVM, self-contained systems and microservices. Teams adopt infrastructure-as-code with CloudFormation, CI/CD per service (GoCD/artifacts on S3), feature toggles, canary and shadow traffic, and consumer-driven contracts so there is no long staging environment. Fifteen teams run, own and operate their services under You build it, you run it, use chaos experiments and per-team Elastic clusters, and report faster time-to-market and far fewer surprise outages.
