Like many companies, John Deere has outgrown its data centers and moved to the cloud. In this talk, Ryan will recount a few different types of migrations and transformations as applications were moved from the small town to the big city. This includes a high volume transactional monolith from Moline, Illinois to AWS with only 5 seconds of downtime, rewriting permission storage systems for everything (twice), and balancing storage versus performance in dealing with a 50 petabyte agronomic data pond.

Ryan Bergman is a lead product engineer at John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group (ISG) where he oversees API security for systems farmers depend on for connecting with experts like agronomists, dealers, other experts. He regularly speak at conferences both as part of John Deere and just on his own, particularly in Agile/XP and DevOps circles.
