About this Talk

There is something to be learned from Big Tech - after all, they were small at one point and scaled successfully. In this session, we’re diving into the lessons you can learn from industry giants to develop scalable solutions with growth in mind! This includes performance monitoring in large-scale systems, ensuring optimal performance at all times.

We’ll be answering questions, such as: 

  • What engineering practices are crucial for building scalable solutions from the outset?
  • Big Tech also started out small. How did they approach scalability, and what lessons can be applied to smaller organizations?
  • How do Big Tech companies balance the trade-offs between microservices and monolithic architectures?
  • What tools and practices are employed for real-time performance monitoring in large-scale systems?

This event is part of Startup Boston Week 2024 and is perfect for engineers, tech cofounders and technical consultants who want to build scalable solutions.
