Episode 21 - Software architecture reliability at scale

In the very first episode of the first series of this podcast we talked about how we ensure that the software architecture that we use at Starling ensures reliability as far as possible. Since then Starling has scaled up from hundreds of customers to over half a million. In this episode we will look at how we have adapted our reliability strategies to deliver at scale. Host Jason Maude finds out how Starling has been developing this area from Starling Scale and Stability Engineers Alex Pardoe and Harry Austin.
