Supporting Custom Frameworks and Upgrades at Scale Using Moderne
Ellen DeWitt and Stacey Watro
Internally managed frameworks provide companies with the ability to support their developers at scale by providing reasonable defaults, managing upgrades, and managing integration with internal tooling.
However, for the teams managing these frameworks there is a significant burden to maintain the framework and support users who are migrating to newer versions of the internal framework.
The microservices team at Squarespace has addressed these concerns by adopting Moderne to help manage our internal SpringBoot starters, custom Java images, and more!
In this session we will discuss:
- Why and how we started using Moderne
- The learning curve for the microservices team that is creating recipes and maintaining internal connection with Moderne
- Paradigm shifts for Squarespace developers to begin using (Moderne) recipes as a part of their development process.
- How we are measuring success and surfacing results to stakeholders
