Dan Arcari, cloud and backend technologist at Zus Health, discusses their use of Kubernetes, ECS, and Serverless in healthcare. Topics include choosing the right tools, HIPAA and SOC2 compliance, managing infrastructure, application deployment, and the benefits of using tools to solve problems.
Serverless offers conceptual simplicity and automated scalability, allowing developers to focus on code.
Choosing the appropriate technology depends on specific requirements and familiarity of development teams.
Consider cost and budget impact when adopting new technologies, investing only in tools that solve specific problems.
Deep dives
The Benefits of Serverless and Lambda
Serverless, such as AWS Lambda, offers conceptual simplicity and infinite scalability. It allows developers to focus on code and handles the scaling automatically.
Choosing the Right Tool for the Job
Using the appropriate technology, like ECS or EKS, depends on the specific requirements and familiarity of the development teams. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Considerations for Economic Efficiency
When adopting new technologies, it is important to consider the cost and impact on the budget. Avoid unnecessary spend and only invest in tools that solve specific problems.
The Importance of Communication and Clarity
Effective communication and organizational alignment are key in software development. It is essential to get everyone on the same page and level up in technology.
The Adoption of Cloud Computing in Healthcare
Cloud computing enables doctors and nurses to store and access patient health information securely in a centralized location. It allows them to provide better care and share information seamlessly.
Summary
This episode explores the adoption of different technologies, including serverless (such as AWS Lambda) and containerization (such as ECS and EKS) in the healthcare industry. It emphasizes the importance of choosing the right tools for the job, considering economic efficiency, and effective communication in software development.
In this episode of Kubernetes Bytes, Ryan and Bhavin sit down with Dan Arcari - a cloud and backend technologist at Zus Health to talk about how they use a combination of Kubernetes, ECS and Serverless to run their home grown and off-the-shelf applications. Dan was employee #1 and has been involved in building the whole stack for Zus health, so the discussion focuses on everything from HIPAA and SOC2 to how you should chose the right tool for the right job. Listen in to learn more about the practitioner approach to Kubernetes in the healthcare ecosystem.
