NXT1’s Darren House at DevOps Experience 2024
At DevOps Experience 2024, Darren House, Co-Founder and CTO of NXT1, shared how architectural alignment can dramatically simplify the implementation of secure-by-design practices in cloud-native DevOps environments.
In the session, first aired in October 2024, he highlights how architectural thinking that aligns application, infrastructure, operations, and security before writing a single line of code can drastically reduce organizational risk and security overhead.
He argues that adopting cloud-native serverless technologies intelligently offloads operational and security burdens, giving DevOps and infrastructure teams fewer “fires to fight” and more time to innovate.

Key Takeaways

- Designing apps using cloud-native serverless technologies provides the best balance of flexibility with offloading operational and security tasks, which means fewer fires to fight and more time to dream.
- It all starts at the top (of your multi-tiered app). Strategically designing presentation-tier technologies can have a huge impact on reducing organizational risk.
