Did you lift-and-shift your way into the cloud, or are you running large compute clusters to keep an app running? If so, there’s a good chance you’re burning more money than you need to.
Here’s the good news: you can probably optimize your workload and cut costs. Even better? You don’t have to reach for Kubernetes if you don’t want to.

In my day job, I come across all kinds of cloud-hosted solutions. Some are beautifully designed & implemented and a joy to work with. Others... not so much.
That's not a value judgement, both kinds often drive successful businesses. Still, there’s plenty of room to modernize without rewriting everything from scratch.

In this session, I’ll walk you through how to evolve less-than-ideal designs using patterns like the Strangler pattern, CQRS, Gateway Routing, and more. These approaches can help you migrate toward a cleaner, more scalable architecture. I’ll focus on Azure, but the principles apply across the board.

Let’s make your solution leaner, smarter, and way more cloud-friendly.
