Building the Future How We Created Our New Platform For Growth
summary
Two legacy platforms become one unified production platform running all brands since January, built as an OpenStack private cloud with Nuage SDN on Arista hardware and about 2,500 VMs; architecture uses ~860 microservices with a dependency catalog, deployment automation based on Go/Jenkins/Chef/Artifactory and 3,000 deployments a week, and a data lake on AWS S3 + Redshift/Aurora (270 TB lake, 80 TB warehouse) feeding ML work via SageMaker; goal: one pipeline, many clouds, evaluating Kubernetes.
