summary
Doctolib explains how the COVID pandemic forced rapid changes to their once-simple monolithic "Boring Architecture" to scale the service. The talk uses three short stories with human, technical, and numeric details to show concrete actions: rolling out teleconsultation in a single weekend, technical and product changes to handle the vaccination campaign, and how they absorbed the massive traffic spike on July 12.
