After Another Go Live Night

Well well well!

Yesterday night I had the coolest Go Live I ever faced. This is the second go live I joined. This project is for Dialog, and it was a great experience to work with their tech team. Our product is initially built for on-premises deployments and facilitates banks. But with this project we had to do a complete could transformation to our project.

During this implementation, I had a really good life lesson. Our product has a well-structured architecture that is effectively working on-premises. The first time, they asked me to make this cloud possible I was shocked how to. Also, they are required to move from MongoDB to DocumentDB same time.

But timely our tech lead directed me to decompose the whole big task into smaller steps and progress step by step forward. I spent plenty of time researching, making mistakes, and thinking, but at one particular point, we came to the correct path. He help a lot to address critical technical problems that came. Also, the dialog team supported a lot to adjust our product to be compatible with their platform "platformer".

With this deployment, I understood how cloud deployments are easy than on-premises. Because during on-premises deployments, we have to do lots of setups, configurations, and maintenance. But platformer does everything for us. It is just a matter of a few clicks. But cost wise it is not good as on-premises servers.

Go live was also so smooth because we had nothing involved. This project had many technical challenges and my contribution was just 30% of all. It was my second Go Live and the easiest in terms of pressure.
