While it's easy to launch a technology startup, it's harder than ever to grow it to delight clients profitably. Cloud providers and their developer advocates have popularised expensive architectures to solve problems that were relevant 10 years ago. How did we get here, how do we progress?
Now we spend our lives overcoming the costs and performance losses of running everything distributed. Do we have to? Does cutting edge hardware eliminate legacy concerns? Shouldn’t we be concentrating our efforts on building technology to make our business win, not just run? John will explore how recent hardware & software advances can help founders and CTO's succeed.
