Bruno Vollmer
Hey I’m Bruno, I’m an experienced Senior Software Engineer passionate about building innovative solutions in fast-paced and evolving startup environments.
I consider myself a generalist when it comes to software engineering and I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering leadership and software development. Currently I’m working as a team lead in a startup in Lausanne. My team is mainly responsible for building and scaling the main platform of our solution. Next to this I’m responsible for the overall software architecture of our solution.
Session
Simplicity scales better than complexity. In this talk we share what we learned from a year-long refactor of our Python-based infrastructure where we majorly improved developer velocity and overall developer happiness with two choices: moving everything into a monorepo and replacing our microservices architecture with a Django monolith.
Instead of going deep on any single technology, we offer a holistic view of how these decisions enabled a multi-disciplinary team to move faster on a shared codebase. We'll introduce a blueprint for a uv-based Python monorepo, discuss why we chose "boring" tools over custom solutions, and share the metrics we used to measure success. The metrics dashboard will be open-sourced as part of this talk.
