Keynote: Push It to the Limit: From Canary Deployments to Canary Clusters - Henrik Høegh, Platform Engineer, Lunar

At Lunar bank we had a good problem, our customers rely on us to move quickly and provide new features and to do so in a highly reliable manner. To meet their needs we set out on a journey to move from canary deployments, where we could test new features in a safe fashion, to canary clusters. We envisioned a world where our production clusters were truly disposable and after 3 years we finally achieved that goal. In this session we will share how we did it, and how you can too. Today any engineer at Lunar bank can fail over the entire platform in 40 minutes. By deeply integrating with our infrastructure provider, writing some new custom operators, and moving most state out of the cluster Lunar is in a position to make disaster recovery a day to day operation. Listen as Henrik shares the successes, key learnings, and challenges we faced along the way.
