TheDelivery HeroASimpsonsAsAServiceStoryboard

When Iwasyoung – books were stillathing…

…and those were delivered through book stores

Alsointhe early days of computers,delivering software waseasy

Often enough software wasshared atschool or work

Who‘s too youngto remember that time?

Buthardware and softwaregrew more complex

And publishers took onthe problem -some of them got big inthe game

However,customers change

Moreand more people buy online

Watchmovies onSimflix

Workremotely and use videocalls

Or dothings (atwork)…

…that better stay inthe dark

Or don‘t you know this feeling,…

…when your better halfjustcomes home?;-)

And donotforget,smartphones became athing,too

Some had avery secret planto solve the change

Buteveryone tried to keep up with the change

Some even considered physical delivery by drones

Butdelivering hosted solutions is different

There‘s always afire to fight

“Our server can‘t holdup to the load anymore!“

Theamazing monolith justdoes notscale.

“We need abetter,scalable architecture!“

Peopleexpect hosted software to be available

DOH!

NOOOO!

Ican‘t workthat way!

Sowe need anew plan…

…and your dev team knows exactly what you mean!

Except,they don‘t.

…that can updated and scaledcompletely separated from others.

You seem likearebel making suchaproposal

And what seems agreat idea…

…turns outto look stupidto others

Inthe endatleastsome peopleget it,butnotallof them.

Ever tried to combine monolith and microservice?Director‘s comment:

Fortunately some cooldevs get it

What we need is the holy grail precious,my precious

We want simplesolutions!

Minimize functionality inevery single unit

Simplesoftware packaging

Horizontalscalability

Without additionalcomplexity

And fast…

…and easydeployment

We want devops to party onevery release

Ohhh…and you too!

Manualdeployments don‘t work,dothey?

And if you manage,the night‘s long

Operationhates you if you put more work onthem

Sosomeone finally shows you…

…the cloud!

That is what wewant to dotoday

Make you happy

Make employees happy

Make customers happy

Make your mom happy

Evenyour neighbors

And believe me,it‘s notdangerous atall

Justkeep your balance

And put it together bit by bit

Alright,let‘s get started already!
