Keynote: Where Teams Choose Autonomy, Accountability and Scaling a Platform
summary
Zalando describes concrete changes: in 2015 it sets API-first and microservices as architectural cornerstones, runs to 4.5 billion EUR revenue and ~90 million orders with ~2,000 tech staff and 100+ Scala users, and open-sources a Tech Radar to govern new tech. Granting autonomy as an upfront gift breaks teams; autonomy must be earned with clear accountability, transparency and feedback. The result is measurable scale and safer technology experimentation rather than chaotic tool sprawl.
