Shifting Security Left While Building A Cloud Native Bank
Building a digital bank requires a unique combination of agility and speed while maintaining the highest level of security.
Lunar, a digital challenger bank in the Nordics, has always had technology and agility as a differentiator. Lunar was built for the cloud, with Cloud Native principles, such as microservices, containers, and container orchestration amongst others.
In this presentation Kasper will present some insights into the principles on which the Lunar infrastructure was built on, the continuous focus on security, and how application security is shifting left and becoming a developer concern. Kasper will discuss the challenges faced and conquered in the process of transitioning from a fintech startup to a bank with its own banking license.
Two years in production with Kubernetes - an experience report
At Lunar Way we have been running Kubernetes in production for over two years. This presentation will be an experience report of the challenges we faced and how we overcome them. We started running Kubernetes in March 2017 to support at that time, 7 microservices. Today we manage around 80 microservices in production. In this presentation, Kasper will touch upon topics such as; finding the right abstraction (do developers need to care about Docker and Kubernetes?), Release Management with Git as the single source of truth (GitOps), and lastly Kubernetes Operations (kops) and the quirks that it comes with.
A Day in the Life of a Kubernetes Engineer
In the cloud native universe, Kubernetes engineers are the unsung heroes--who wrangle YAML, tame logs and brave production crises. While AI steals the spotlight, challenges of managing Kubernetes remain in the shadows. Platform engineers, often grappling with relentless war room calls rarely get the stage they deserve.
For the first time, we’ll dive into the untold stories of platform engineers: triumphs and the grit it takes to navigate the complexities of Kubernetes. This is a celebration of the human side of cloud native, told through anecdotes, technical insights and lessons learned from the trenches.
