Track: Architectures You've Always Wondered about
Location:
- Fleming, 3rd flr.
Day of week:
- Tuesday
Behind every successful tech company, there is an architecture that enables it to function, innovate and scale. What best practices, patterns, and decisions have these companies employed on their road to success? What mistakes did they make along the way and what lessons did they learn? You will hear from companies that have scaled exponentially, handled billions of transactions and millions of users, revised processes and approaches, and ideated platforms that empower companies like yours. In this track, we hope to inspire you through their stories.
