Технический долг — это не только legacy: как мы уменьшаем разброс решений между Go-сервисами

Когда компания растёт из одного продуктового направления в несколько, технический долг начинает выглядеть иначе.

Регламенты, которые должны управлять проектами, на практике почти никто не использует – какие-то правила давно устарели, а какие-то погребены в недрах 200-страничного документа. ИСУП же автоматизирует... Read more
