DeveloperWeek 2020

A company's primary concern should always be its customers and their needs – Envoy's engineering success has been rooted in quickly addressing infrastructure problems and shifting its focus onto solving customer problems. The team has done that by leveraging Heroku for quickly standing up POCs, even as the company scaled, and maximizing the power of AWS turn-key services to get the most flexibility and control of its infrastructure. In this talk, Mike Chan, former founder of NextBit and engineer on the Android team at Google and now CTO at Envoy, and Joe Shockman, DevOps Engineer for Envoy, will discuss Envoy's hybrid approach to tackling infrastructure that has allowed them to innovate more quickly. By minimizing these infrastructure concerns, Chan's team has been able to focus on delivering software solutions that are shaping the future of the workplace and addressing customer needs.
