Learn how Ask Media Group modernized their architecture and development with microservices, containers, and Kubernetes.
Over the past few years, Ask Media Group has made the shift from on-prem data centers to the AWS cloud. In doing so, they’ve rearchitected numerous legacy systems from monoliths to microservices. An underlying architecture based on containers, leveraging Gitlab Runners, Kubernetes, Docker, Linkerd and AWS was key to this migration. Beyond the architectural changes, the teams at Ask also changed how they worked, and leveraged GitLab as the primary mechanism to configure, build, test, deploy, and manage their microservices. GitLab essentially became the front-end for this new infrastructure.
During this discussion, hear from Chenglim Ear, Principal Software Engineer, Ask Media Group about how they accomplished this and what lessons they can share with you.
