Disrupting eMobility with cloud technologies: Redefining The Charging Experience Globally.
During this presentation, Nils will introduce Hectronic's ambitious plan to venture into the e-mobility market by developing a comprehensive mobility platform that combines existing business solutions for refueling and parking services with e-mobility. The new approach allows Hectronic to disrupt the mobility market while allowing its customers to focus on defining the transformation in the mobility market.
To build a future-proven platform, the platform is built on cloud-based services following the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. To ensure the platform's success, multiple teams are working on individual modules, including ledger technologies, machine learning, serverless, and container solutions. To have a proper portfolio, hardware terminals are offered as well, which interact via AWS IoT with the newly built platform.
Does it always have to be K8s? Running multiple customer-facing application in Fargate!
Since AWS EKS everyone is able to get an own Kubernetes cluster within minutes up and running. As most teams we also started with our own EKS cluster - why? Cause it is hip and everyone out there is using Kubernetes and yes, a lot of success stories as well! But we quickly realized that it might be overloaded - too much for what we are looking for. We want a way to run a microservice-based application with a lot of Docker containers in a production environment with less effort. Kubernetes is great - but it brings a lot of configuration and operational tasks we don't want to have in the future. And even more the integration in AWS Services (like lambda trigger) is not what we were looking for.
So we replaced our EKS cluster and started using Fargate - yes less hype and probably less success stories but if you're interested in running and operation a microservice application - you should definitely consider it. I will invite you to participate our journey we had and show you the benefits of using Fargate.
The session will also cover how the development workflow looks like and how the teams were able to deploy their application using gitlab CI/CD. So everything from Code to Customer.
