Michael Mitter


With a sound technical education at Graz University of Technology and more than 15 years of practical work experience in software development, Michael Mitter was instrumental in setting up a QA department as a certified SDQA manager. He also worked as a technical project manager and requirements engineer in an international environment. As a certified Scrum Master and Product Owner, he has been familiar with introducing and using agile methods for more than 10 years. In all activities, the focus on software quality and the constant drive for improvement, both from a technical and process perspective, has never been lost. When he is not working, you can find him on his bikes (up+down), renovate his old house (already a home improvement king) together with his family, somewhere outside in nature or listening to heavy music.
Talk: Migration of a Containerized Legacy Application to the Cloud
A legacy app is usually not designed to operate in a cloud services environment, not even as a container. You can’t refuse cloud adoption if you want to continue to be successful and open up new business areas. That’s why we took the plunge with our monolith, whose development began more than 2 decades ago. We also had to face an organizational challenge: From waterfall to agile software development using an enterprise framework.
• Which steps regarding to the implementation have we taken and why?
• Migrating a legacy app – is it worth it?
• What about the obstacles, we’ve faced?
