Cruise ships are highly sophisticated floating cities, but they operate with intermittent, high-latency internet connections. This environment fundamentally challenges the cloud-first approaches of modern architecture and agile delivery.

In this session, David will explore the architectural patterns and strategies developed to build a resilient and autonomous fleet technology ecosystem. From edge computing and robust onboard infrastructure to advanced data synchronisation, discover how Carnival UK ensures critical operations run seamlessly whether in the middle of the Atlantic or docked in port.

This case study offers insights not only for the cruise industry but also for enterprises managing IoT deployments, operating in remote locations, or prioritising business continuity in the face of connectivity challenges.

💡 What you’ll discover:
🔹 Why disconnected environments demand rethinking cloud-first models
🔹 Architectural strategies for building resilience and autonomy at the edge
🔹 The role of data synchronisation and robust onboard infrastructure
🔹 Lessons from cruise ships applicable to IoT, remote operations and business continuity
