Great visual metaphors and a really fun way of thinking about the different strategies for building distributed systems.

I think this is a very important topic. I'm glad that also these things are covered as quite a lot of people are affected. I liked the presentation.

Loved the story line. Tying it to characters from a TV show made it easier to follow. Good lessons. Good ways to engage the audience. Crisp clean slides (except the DB one, which was kinda the point).

Areas for improvement:
* a couple of the first slides, speaker put up text (about agile, devops) then read it to us. Would have been better to not read it word for word.
* I might have missed this, but would have been nice to put up a timeline of customer onboarding at the start and a timeline with fixes at the end.
* Might have been interesting to talk about external resources that such teams could use (the db docs, cloud provider support, etc).
* Might want to update to use a more modern hosting stack (lots of places, as speaker mentioned, offer autoscaling now).

Thanks for the talk. It would have been nice to have less story and more information on how to help teams handle burn out when it comes up. It gave me some things to think about as a manager of a team.

Awesome talk, I'm still early in learning how to localize our application (we only do it for a small portion of the application) and this talk was great and showed me a better way to do this.

I really enjoyed this talk and it was a great way to kick off the day. The graphic presentation was really great and the message was even better. It definitely helped to shift my perspective.
