As SoundCloud has grown to almost a hundred engineers and both in scope and size it has become difficult to maintain engineering effectiveness. We have found the best way to maintain effectiveness in the face of large products and codebases is to move to a service oriented architecture. In this talk we will present Bazooka, a Platform that we have developed inside of SoundCloud to manage and run 12factor applications.
