Architecting for Growth: Balancing Organization, Processes & Tech Modernization
summary
Case study of a three year program that moves a Scandinavian e‑commerce stack from a fragile on‑prem duolith to a cloud microservices platform while scaling people and output: 5x the number of developers, continuous delivery with the QA and automation rigor required to do so safely, lift'n'shift off out‑of‑support on‑prem services to a public cloud, and a modern microservices rollout that shifts over 50% of development work into the modern architecture with AB tests, ADRs and platform guidance.
