Startup engineering is different. With lower product maturity, fewer resources, and less certainty about the future, startups have a whole bunch of constraints that must be taken into account when designing the product’s architecture and engineering procedures. Simply sticking to the latest engineering trends - will not necessarily be ideal for startups, and might put them in real danger of running out of business.

In this talk, we’re going to kill some holy cows, and discuss the dirty details of implementing some of the industry’s most popular trends - such as Microservices, Continuous Deployment & TDD (Test Driven Development). We’ll also share some of our journey at Hysolate towards a flexible, agile cloud architecture, including some tips and best practices for implementing a scalable product in 2021.
