How Netflix Rebuilt Its Commerce Platform for Global Scale
Netflix didn't become a global streaming giant by accident, and Kasia Trapszo's talk digs into the messy, deliberate work behind that evolution. She walks through the shift from a U.S. DVD service to worldwide infrastructure, tackling real-world friction like international payments and strict regulations. What stands out is her focus on decomposing monoliths along domain lines, then rebuilding for massive live events. It's a grounded look at how systems survive, not through clever hacks, but through constant, practical reinvention.
Restore Your Boundaries to Reduce Cross-Team Negotiation
Why do seemingly simple features suddenly require cross-team negotiations? Michael Fischer, Nicholas Lawrence, and Monica Karekar argue that boundary drift quietly erodes change locality, forcing teams into costly coordination. Practical sociotechnical strategies, from redistributing mechanics to rehearsing exception paths, restore domain boundaries. It is a grounded, actionable read for anyone feeling the drag of tangled systems.
