Abstracts
Migrating ING’s Data Analytics Platform to Google Cloud by Adnan Hodzic (ING)
This talk explores my journey as Tech Lead, guiding the migration of ING's Data Analytics Platform (DAP) to Google Cloud. We'll delve into the factors that led us to choose Google Cloud, the diverse teams building the scalable platform for ING tenants, and the implementation of various data, AI, and ML solutions.
We'll navigate the migration process itself - team composition, project scope, the challenges we conquered, and the valuable lessons learned of one such migration for a global bank and in a highly regulated environment.
Most importantly, I'll share how we leveraged Google Cloud to not only migrate the platform but empower ING's data-driven future and outline our exciting roadmap for the platform's continued evolution.

Constants: surely i'll never need to use a MetaClass, right? by Thomas Moll (Booking.com)
