Talk: Modernization of your AWS based SaaS platform
It’s easier to build SaaS on AWS than it was 5 or even 10 years ago, and while many reference architectures are based on net-new development, how can you retrofit these capabilities into your existing platform?
In addition to that, how do you balance development of new feature/functionality with addressing risk and technical debt, while also presenting a viable product for further investment and the diligence that comes with it.
A big part of that is the evolution of security frameworks within an organization, typically working backwards from customer demand, growing to a sprawl of policies, procedures, and technical controls.
In this presentation, we will review some of the low hanging fruit that many platforms can take advantage of on AWS, through the lens of Well Architected, using real-life customer examples.
We will also explore some of the SaaS friendly AWS programs such as the Marketplace, Vendor Insights, Foundational Technical Review and APN.
We will round out the discussion with an overview of FinOps practices, including cost allocation and unit economics, as well as some of the recent trends observed in the SaaS space.
