Scaling SaaS Architecture online workshop
Thursday 7 May, 10:00am-12:00pm
Are you worried that you can’t evolve your product fast enough to meet a future increase in customers?
Are you customising your product to generate revenue but also worried that this may affect your ability to scale?
In this workshop we will help attendees understand:
- Warning signs that your product isn’t fit for scaling.
- When to start focusing on scale and understanding lead times for changing a system.
- Technical foundations for scale and when to think about them.
- Patterns and anti-patterns for improving scalability.
- A business overview of scalable SaaS architecture. How to understand the tradeoffs between monolithic vs micro services architecture including the costs and benefits of each.
- The skills needed to transform existing systems and operate new systems at scale.
- How to identify architectural options for provisioning customers and how this or other high value features may be a useful first step to scale.
