In episode 68, Ronald and Jan chat with Nicolas Braga from Essent about how a major service outage, caused by a surge in traffic during the Ukraine war and rising energy prices, led to a full rethinking of Essent’s cloud architecture.
Nicolas explains how they shifted their strategy to increase team ownership and why they chose AWS Lambda over Kubernetes. He highlights Lambda’s advantages, such as auto-scaling, cost-efficiency, and simplified management, which allows Essent to innovate faster without worrying about infrastructure complexity.
The episode explores how these changes align with Essent’s goal to become a leading energy tech company.
