Flipkart's Journey: Migrating to K8s on Bare Metal for Performance Gains

[@joshreji7510]

This is a gold mine of knowledge for K8s

[@moardub]

Interesting watch and that's a massive scale Flipkart is operating at! Thx for sharing!

[@srikanth1281]

Great presentation, can see hardwork behinds bringing those stats, great to see Flipkart pulling off this scale migration. One question why you guys chose Debian flavour is over Linux flavour like centos.

What most used backend language in flipkart?

I hate FK. Every sale it goes down, every single time from past IDK how many years. I just can't believe how they still haven't figured out this basic thing.

[@StingSting844]

Its not basic at all

[@__nitinkumar__]

@@StingSting844 Totaly agreed, even Amazon went down last time but how many times have you seen, Netflix, Hotstar, etc go down during peek traffic

@@StingSting844 Don't take it literally, try to understand the emotion of a customer. May be you'll be able to relate.

[@__nitinkumar__]

They have a disadvantage that they can't use AWS, IDK why they have there own servers, may it saves cost in a long run, still doesn't justifies the down times every single year.

[@__nitinkumar__]

The first sale was in 2014, 9 years, and it still can't handle the traffic, which speaks a lot about the engineering culture.

Always wanted to know how is flipkart so fast

[@santoshbhatnagar2155]

Just curious to know which thing is fast on Flipkart compared to other companies?

[@sakshisingh-ue4nr]

@@santoshbhatnagar2155 I feel it is far more faster than amazon

How does a container running on a bare metal server increase performance? yes, it is easy to scale but increasing performance?
