#125 - Two CTO Dinosaurs vs. Today's Tech Hype with Raz Shuty // CTO @ auxmoney
What happens when two experienced CTOs sit down to debunk the latest tech trends? Raz Schweiger-Shuty, CTO at auxmoney, joins Tobi for an unfiltered discussion about the hypes, myths, and wastes of resources that plague modern tech companies.
After taking over a 17-year-old fintech platform with no prior CTO, Raz made controversial decisions that flew in the face of conventional wisdom: stopping a microservices migration, questioning Kubernetes adoption, and focusing on measurable business value over engineering trends. His ""dinosaur CTO"" perspective offers a refreshing antidote to tech hype.
This conversation cuts through the noise with practical insights on:
• 🚫 Why every monolith-to-microservices story ends the same way (spoiler: badly)
• 💰 Reducing cloud costs from €120k to €85k through systematic waste elimination
• 🔧 When Kubernetes complexity becomes a liability rather than an asset
• 📊 Using DORA metrics and cost-per-transaction instead of vanity metrics
• 🏗️ Building modular monoliths with domain-driven design principles
• 👥 Organizing engineering teams around business value streams, not technology stacks
