About Talk and Speaker
Talk 1 - Flat Was Fast. 3-Tier Helped Us Grow. But You Probably Don't Need it... Yet by Taqwa, Senior SRE @CoinGecko
We ran everything in a single-tier AWS setup — and it worked, until the technical debt caught up. This talk covers why we moved to a 3-tier architecture, how we migrated PostgreSQL (RDS) and Redis (ElastiCache) with zero downtime, what triggered the shift and how we did QA before and after. We migrated and scaled without Kubernetes. Yes, that’s still legal.
About Speaker: Taqwa is a SRE at CoinGecko. He’s helped scale infra at multiple startups and enjoys building stuff that works (and survives traffic spikes). Big fan of boring tech.
