So much has changed since episode 49, April-ish. We filled about 15 million orders and we're closely approaching 20 million. So almost another 5 million orders in six months is just crazy how the pace we're moving at this year. It's so rare to have someone be able to count things so precisely as you are. And a funny story on that: I'd love to imagine it was just me sat there counting orders as they go out the door. But we've actually got a big LED sign that's mounted to the wall. Every time it ordered the spatches, it ticks up. Nice.

Episode notes
Eight months ago, in π§ episode 49, Alex Sims (Solutions Architect & Senior Software Engineer at James & James) shared with us his ambition to help migrate a monolithic PHP app running on AWS EC2 to a more modern architecture. The idea was some serverless, some EKS, and many incremental improvements.
So how did all of this work out in practice? How did the improved system cope with the Black Friday peak, as well as all the following Christmas orders? Thank you Alex for sharing with us your Ship It! inspired Kaizen story. Itβs a wonderful Christmas present! ππ
