DESCRIPTION:Your application works. Your users depend on it. But maintainin
 g legacy infrastructure or even running applications on Kubernetes without
  fully leveraging its capabilities can be a constant source of toil. The s
 unk cost fallacy often keeps people from investing time and effort into im
 proving architectures. But how do you modernize without disrupting existin
 g users?\n\nIn this session\, we'll walk through a real-world modernizatio
 n journey: from statically-allocated VM workers to a fully Kubernetes-nati
 ve architecture without downtime. You'll see how we used queue-based routi
 ng as a migration lever\, letting us move users one at a time from legacy 
 infrastructure to auto-scaling container pods. You'll learn why we stopped
  building images inside our workers and instead delegated to platform-nati
 ve CI/CD pipelines. That one decision eliminated the need for privileged c
 ontainers entirely.\n\nWalk away with a template for modernizing a service
  into a cloud-native architecture\, without rewriting from scratch and ask
 ing your users to take a leap of faith.
