Don't be scared to keep moving the needle and keep iterating on what you've got. The first time you fail, as long as you can retrospect on that failure and take some key learnings away from it, I think the more you fail, the better. As long as you're not failing to the point where you're like taking production completely offline and maybe your customers lose confidence in your product,. That's how you replace fear of courage with courage. And if it works for you, you know, it's most likely to work for others.

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.
