Pragmatic multi-cloud architecture: designing for resilience and portability beyond the hype

Today, most of our applications are hosted in the cloud. But what if we leveraged multiple providers for a single application or platform?

The theory is attractive: cherry-picking the best services from each provider to build the ultimate architecture. The reality? Cloud providers that are "more equal than others" and a labyrinth of technical complexities—where network latency, fragmented data, and incompatible APIs threaten both your SLAs and your peace of mind.

In this session, we will tackle the challenge of designing a multi-cloud platform based on a real-world use case. From defining bounded contexts to addressing production hurdles, security, and API design, we will navigate the pitfalls inherent to this architecture while highlighting essential best practices.

Finally, we will explore how a thorough understanding of customer needs and a pragmatic risk analysis can guide design choices to deliver a coherent, end-to-end vision.
