DESCRIPTION:At DE-CIX\, we're redefining network orchestration from first p
 rinciples. Confronted with the limitations of existing systems\, we set ou
 t to design a modern orchestration stack—one capable of managing a truly
  global network\, seamlessly interfacing with a variety of upstream and do
 wnstream systems\, supporting fully managed network devices\, and\, above 
 all\, delivering uncompromising reliability.\n\nIn this talk\, we share ou
 r transformation journey—from our starting point to our vision for the f
 uture. We'll delve into the architectural choices\, design principles\, an
 d decision-making frameworks that guided our approach. We’ll also explor
 e how we rigorously test our systems and highlight the critical lessons we
 ’ve learned—insights that are applicable to any complex network automa
 tion project.\n\nOur solution is built on three key pillars: a tightly int
 egrated central source of truth for configuration management\, an event-dr
 iven architecture for service orchestration\, and a highly scalable design
  that accommodates rapid global growth.\n\nTo ensure stability and correct
 ness\, we've implemented a digital twin—internally dubbed Shadow—which
  mirrors the production environment. This shadow stack enables us to valid
 ate and test new software iterations in parallel\, minimizing risk and acc
 elerating confidence before deployment to real hardware.
