Parallel Feature Development in Microservices

Teams running microservices in Kubernetes eventually hit the same limitation: Feature testing at scale becomes a bottleneck when a shared staging or
pre-production environment is involved.

In this technical webinar, Fotis Stamatelopoulos, Sr. Director of Platform Engineering at Upwork, will dive into the complications microservices bring to the traditional environments model and the different approaches teams can take for parallel feature testing. Anirudh Ramanathan, CTO at Signadot, will then speak on fully realizing lightweight environments to improve developer productivity and
time-to-market.

In this session, you'll come away with:

• An understanding for the bottlenecks of shared staging environments
• The different options for solving parallel feature testing at scale
• How to implement lightweight environments
