Lightning Talk - Micro-Services Lifecycle Management at Twitter - Micheal Benedict, Twitter

"Twitter and its associated products are powered by thousands of micro services. Managing lifecycle of services (i.e create, provision resources, deploy, meter, charge & deprecate) at our scale proves to be challenging.

In this lightening talk, I'll give a quick overview on the problem & how our internal product (called Kite) is helping Twitter manage the lifecycle of creating, deploying and operating micro services at scale."
