Agenda
6:00 PM: Arrivals and Check In
6:30 PM: Welcome / Community Update
6:45 PM: Natalie Godec - But can you really run your app on 2 clouds at the same time?
We've all heard about this concept - you should run your app in more than one zone, more than one region, more than one... cloud? But how can this be done, without a major re-architecture of every component of every system?
Let me take you through a real world implementation, where the 2 clouds were AWS and GCP, and the app - a major platform that has to deal with images. We'll look into the infra, networking and DNS setup, how to configure data availability and consistency, and what happened when we actually switched dual run in production.
Whether you need multi-cloud for resilience, for serving customers with different requirements, or you just want to see who's mad enough to implement this - this talk is for you.7:15 PM: Alessandro De Maria - Code & Reload: A Call of Duty "Zombie mode" inspired approach to Technical Debt in Startups
In this talk, we'll explore the parallels between surviving Call of Duty's Zombie mode and managing technical debt in startups. Just as players face increasingly difficult zombie waves with brief moments to regroup, startups experience intense development sprints that accumulate technical debt, followed by critical recovery periods. Learn practical strategies for recognizing when to sprint and when to strengthen your codebase foundations, how to prioritize technical debt paydown during "breather" phases, and why ignoring these cycles leads to inevitable project death. Whether you're a developer, tech lead, or founder, you'll walk away with actionable frameworks to survive your startup's technical zombie apocalypse
