Marcin Mazurek is an Engineering Director at Allegro, one of the biggest marketplaces in Europe. Over 1800 employees, around 800 people in the Technology area. We’ve been building the platform for e-commerce for almost 20 years now. It’s a complicated beast with a mesh of legacy, hard-working core system and new technologies pushing us strong forward. We’ve been using a private cloud for years now but private is private, you do not show it to anybody, you do not have to rely on anybody and you can play with it on your terms. Public cloud after lots of work is part of our ecosystem, we do not scream „cloud all the things” in the public, we are using it carefully having in mind that we have a large ecosystem of sellers any buyers that use our platform and do not care if it’s private, public or anything else. The only thing they care about is if to works and if it provides them ways to run their business and buy things that they need.
The talk will show Allegro way of getting into the cloud, as I believe we are still at the beginning of it although it’s been almost three years now.
