To serve over 28 million subscribers, Hulu operates thousands of microservices. All of those microservices are backed by Donki—a Heroku-style, Docker-native platform that has grown from handling hundreds of requests per second to hundreds of billions of requests per day.

In this presentation, David Lindquist talks about how Hulu built Donki and the challenges they met along the way. He also shares how the platform evolved from datacenter-based server deployments into an effective, cloud-based container orchestration tool without impacting the technology decisions or workflow of their application development teams.
