From Failure to Success: Architecting Away Cloud Native Anti-Patterns
Abstract
Many organizations struggle with their cloud-native transformations. Applications break unexpectedly, costs spiral out of control, security gaps emerge, and teams become frustrated with complex deployments. The issue isn't the technology, it's the anti-patterns we unknowingly build into our systems.
In this session, drawing from real-world examples in ""Cloud Native Anti-Patterns,"" you'll discover:
Pattern Recognition:
How to identify the most damaging anti-patterns in cloud native architectures Early warning signs that predict system failures
Practical Refactoring Strategies:
Approaches to migrate from anti-patterns to best practices Governance models that prevent anti-patterns from emerging
Building Anti-Pattern-Resistant Systems
Observability patterns that catch problems before they cascade Deployment strategies that minimize blast radius Cultural shifts needed to sustain cloud native success
