Extreme DevOps Automation

Revolut's rapid growth relies on a powerful microservices architecture, but this presents a significant scaling challenge. Thousands of engineers and hundreds of product teams, configuring the underlying tooling and infrastructure for each service – from git workspaces and CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes deployments and monitoring dashboards – can be a huge waste. How does Revolut ensure that teams are focus on innovation? This talk dives into how Revolut tackles this challenge head-on. We'll explore the extreme automation strategies employed by a lean, 15-person DevOps platform team to support 1300 engineers and manage a staggering 6500 deployments, enabling Revolut to deliver a truly "Wow" experience and keeping Revolut at the forefront of fintech innovation.
