Dinesh Majrekar presented on evaluating data solutions for large-scale production at Civo. As the lead architect for the CivoStack platform, he discussed how Civo tested various options by setting up a representative test environment, measuring performance, and assessing scalability, durability, and day-2 operations when their previous data provider's contract was up for renewal. Some of the tools used in testing included Terraform, Gitlab CI pipelines, Ansible, FIO, and KubeVirt. The goal was to find a partnership where Civo could continue growing while avoiding vendor lock-in and ensuring performance and open source technologies.
