In this episode of “The Engineering Room” Dave Farley chats with Randy Shoup, eBay VP of Engineering and Chief Architect. Randy has led software development in some of the best known Silicon Valley web giants. He identifies some common patterns in the trajectory from software start-ups to Big Tech - declaring that a monolith is the best architecture for tech start-ups, even at eBay, Twitter, Google and Netflix, and describes the evolutionary steps from Monoliths to Microservices.

Dave and Randy discuss the role of Platforms and Infrastructure teams, technical choices and autonomy at big organisations; increasing automation and applying software engineering and DevOps techniques to a legacy system. Learn how eBay's "Velocity Initiative", led by Randy, doubled productivity in just a year, by applying Continuous Delivery techniques and using the DORA metrics to focus on where to improve.
