Build Fast, Deploy Fast: Innovating in the Enterprise - Use Case Track
-- Our motto "Imagination at work" is the belief in driving innovation that builds, powers, moves and cures the world. At GE, we have 9,000+ legacy apps powering 9 business units across every major industry from oil and gas, healthcare to household appliances generating over $148B in revenue. With legacy apps and infrastructure, our app teams were facing issues with long development cycles, deploying apps and scaling features and services. How do you migrate legacy data center built apps to a new microservices and hybrid cloud architecture at this organizational scale and business diversity? In this talk, the GE Digital team will share their journey to a modern microservices platform built with Docker Datacenter, Rails, Chef, Sensu, Gems, AWS, Azure and Rackspace on-prem to modernize these apps and automate processes to enable agile development and rapid deployment. This session will cover both the technical and organizational sides of the project to take legacy apps and infrastructure at GE to multi cloud microservices.
