I’ve always believed the best way to learn about building resilient platforms is to study real examples from others. During a workshop on scalable backend design a colleague referenced an AWS case study involving soft2bet in the middle of the agenda, highlighting how they shifted from on-premise servers to a cloud model with Amazon RDS and Snowflake. It made an impression because they weren’t chasing buzzwords, they focused on reducing latency and giving teams more time to innovate. The fact that operational cost savings and rapid development cycles were side effects of those choices really stuck with me. It gave me a fresh lens on evaluating infrastructure trade-offs.
