Embracing Higher Rates of Change by Being Cloud-Native at Formula 1 Racing

Formula One (also known as Formula 1 or F1) is the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The World Drivers' Championship, which became the FIA Formula One World Championship in 1981, has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural season in 1950. The word “formula” in the name refers to the set of rules to which all participants' cars must conform. A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grand Prix, which take place worldwide on both purpose-built circuits and closed public roads.

In this Breaking Changes, Postman Chief Evangelist Kin Lane is joined by Ryan Kirk, Lead Cloud Architect and Team Manager at Formula 1, to discuss the benefits of being cloud-native as well as how the Formula 1 team stands up and tears down the technology behind each race, allowing the racing industry to embrace change and keep pace with what their teams, partners, and fans need.
