Microservices for Growth at comparethemarket.com

comparethemarket.com have been running Kubernetes in production for over two years. But the journey has not always been straightforward. Most real stories of growth involve several generations of architecture, repeated accruals and repayments of technical debt, piling up of layers of technology that reflect the evolving outlook of the organisation over time and ComparetheMarket is no different.

Kenichi and Adam will explain how they took this technology landscape through the adoption of Microservices in the creation of Comparison as a Service, one of the core pillars of the user journey today. They’ll describe the history, the challenges and the lessons learned and explain pitfalls to avoid when building a high growth popular service. They will also go through PaaS and the necessity of building platforms in order to scale microservices efficiently. Finally how these technologies evolved together with internal processes whilst adopting newer technologies to solve differentiated business problems
