At Auctane there was a decision made to migrate monolith to microservices, this
was significant undertaking for a company which was slow in technology adoption.
There was people upskilling challenges, product presure to add more features to
existing system and lack of resource in fullining the migration in a tight
deadline.
I worked an a stratergy with the product team and leadership to reduce number of
new features instead allow my team to focus on the migration part - after which
we can take the backlog items. 
Once I got a greenlight, I had a solutions architect come and take 1 week course
for our team to upskill, also encouraged them to take the AWS certification in
parallel.
I had to scale up my team with external hires, and during pandemic it was
challenge to hire any resource. Once I found the right resource, I enabled them
to be productive by having a buddy dev for 2 weeks - and then learn as they go.
I trusted them to be motivated and gave them the needed tools to succeed.
There was growing pains for us as team, but in the end, we successfully migrated
to microservices on time and within budget. If given a role at Meta, I will
bring the same phiolophy of empowring my team members to do thier job and
fostering an environment of innovate.
