Summary

Niko Kurtti talks about the challenges Shopify saw in moving from a traditional host-based infrastructure to a cloud native one, moving not only their core app to Kubernetes but also hundreds of other apps at the same time. He focuses on the cluster tooling solutions they've built, such as controllers, cluster creators, and deploy tools.

Bio

Niko Kurtti is a production engineer at Shopify. He started out as a software developer doing web apps with Java, but since then fell in love with container technologies. He was part of the effort to roll out Docker in production at Shopify in 2014 and is still working around the same domain, but today the focus is on Shopify’s internal PaaS based on k8s.
