Breaking Down Monoliths

It might seem like Datadog is a young pup born into microservices. However, like many organizations we started with larger code bases and VMs. Scaling the company while building a system that handles trillions of data points every day required a shift in how we work and the tools we use.

In this session, I’ll share tips for how to break apart your monoliths and large code bases into faster, loosely-coupled services. I’ll give advice for managing your services and troubleshooting issues in a microservice environment. And more importantly, I’ll share strategies for getting buy-in and alignment across your organization.
