Presentation
From Storms to Clouds: Norrøna's Journey of Modernising its Infrastructure
This is the cloud adoption story of Norrøna, an outdoor clothing brand with almost a century's worth of experience facing the harshest storms in an ultra-competitive business environment.
We'll explain our multi-year journey moving away from classical monoliths in legacy C# framework and Java technology. We went from running on an excessive number of virtual machines and even physical servers to a modern cloud native infrastructure.
We went from manually configured web servers and internal applications where each update entails a 15 minute downtime to automated blue-green deployments in Kubernetes.
Today, we can seamlessly migrate forward with automatically deployed updates within minutes from the git commit.
Join us when we also tell you about the hard lessons. Like that one time we learned all about Postgres Point-In-Time recovery or that evening we tested the recreation of the production cluster from code.
