The LondonIAC Meetup Presents: The Post Office Cloud Journey

Join us on Wednesday, March 29th for our upcoming meetup at G-Research's London Headquarters, located near Goodge Street in Central London. G-Research will be generously providing refreshments and pizza as we gather to learn something new and network with our peers. We have two talks scheduled for tonight, featuring Post Office Limited's cloud transformation and their use of Terraform for CI/CD pipelines.

Please note that the nearest Tube Station is Goodge Street.
