? About the Event:
In early 2025, a critical legacy reverse proxy at DraftKings was migrated from outdated, Windows-only tech to a modern .NET Core-based solution running in Linux containers on Kubernetes.
Over just six months, the application was re-engineered and deployed — across multiple datacenters and regions, with zero downtime — during peak season. This talk shares how they achieved it with:
✅ Containerization and Kubernetes
✅ .NET Core upgrades
✅ Precise canary rollouts
✅ Multi-region deployment strategy
✅ Improved platform stability and developer experience
? Includes a live Q&A session.
