Legacy modernisation is one of the most difficult, and often misunderstood, elements of digital transformation. It can be expensive and very disruptive. It has more in common with business transformation than cloud migration and can lend itself to risky large scale implementations.
Dave, Sjoukje & Rob are joined by John Kodumal, CTO and Co-Founder of LaunchDarkly, they talk about how greenfield development is increasingly rare, evolving a running system is much more common. New method and tools are now available to move this past a static or quarterly update, risk heavy process, such as feature management which allows legacy to be modernised with zero outage and switch over risk.
In this weeks trend we talk about the emerging field of developer productivity, why it can be helpful, but its also very difficult to do effectively.
TLDR:
00:50 Intros
01:30 Cloud conversation with John Kodumal
21:30 Developer Productivity
29:42 Scaling People by Claire Hughes Johnson (book recommendation)!
