Adopting Cloud Native EDAs - The Serverless Staircase
summary
A practical roadmap called Serverless Staircase lays out five steps: Vision (board-backed North Star and KPIs), Topology (team and architectural split, event schemas), Training (serverless skills matrix, embedded experts), Minimum Viable Migration (MVM/Strangler Fig with EventBridge, Lambda, DynamoDB streams, change‑data‑capture) and Governance (Digital Delivery Office, weekly modernization reviews). A cautionary case describes a big‑bang attempt by an e‑commerce firm doing billions of euros with an 80‑engineer team that wastes millions, so the staircase favors incremental MVMs over one‑off rewrites.
