Migrations are often motivated by reliability, but can also harm reliability if not done with care. Tom will explore several migrations he led over the past few years, including moving 2000+ jobs to Nomad, subsequently containerizing 2600 and moving to an HA setup with RabbitMQ. We will discuss what went well and what went wrong in each instance, and how we applied what we learned to improve our migration competency.
