054 Moving to Continuous AWS-based Enterprise Web Hosting – Lessons Learned

Markus Heimbach, Team Lead of the Infrastructure and Service Team at Dynatrace, explains the continuous delivery process of www.dynatrace.com really works behind the scenes. 2 years ago the web site team used a traditional CMS (Content Management System) which was slow, error prone, and didn’t deliver the expected end user experience for visitors of our website. 2 years later Markus and his team built a fully automated “Content Delivery Pipeline”. The team decided to leverage Git, static generated web content, immutable infrastructure, and Dynatrace OneAgent monitoring. Production deployments happen twice a day but staging and development deployments – using the same deployment pipelines – happen much more frequently. The result is a very flexible delivery pipeline, fully version controlled content, a very secure and fast website and everything monitored with Dynatrace. Thanks Markus for letting us look behind the scene of www.dynatrace.com
