🚀 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In early 2025, a critical legacy reverse proxy at DraftKings was migrated from outdated, Windows-only tech to a modern .NET Core-based solution running in Linux containers on Kubernetes.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.
