Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. We often speak with experts working on the technology-vendor side of the industry, but you’re building in a much different way. Tell us about your background, and introduce us to the work you’re doing today at the Financial Times.
Topic 2 - For the last 4 years, you’ve been talking a lot (publicly) about building and using microservices. Give us some background on your journey, and some of the reasons why your teams have chosen this architecture. (experimentation, A/B testing)
Topic 3 - You work in a world that reports on the financial success (or failures) of other companies, but how do you measure your own success? How do you put them in perspective/
Topic 4 - Lets talk about service ownership. Who owns a service, how long do they own a service, do they ever go away?
Topic 5 - Any tips or tricks that you’d be willing to share with our audience about driving successful culture within your team or across other teams?
