DevOps, cloud, microservices, and the challenge of complexity with Luca Mezzalira

In this episode of CODE&CLOUD, Rauno De Pasquale (CTO at Newesis) sits down with Luca Mezzalira (Serverless Specialist Solutions Architect AWS and author of Building Micro-Frontends from O’Reilly) to unpack how to tackle complexity in modern systems: DevOps, cloud, microservices, micro-frontends, governance and team organization.
Starting from the “paradox” of modern architecture—greater agility promised, yet new distributed complexity—Luca shares pragmatic ways to decide when and how to split systems, how to reduce teams’ cognitive load, and what the architect’s role really is today: less “master builder,” more coach/enabler who asks the right questions, defines reusable patterns, and navigates the trade-offs across technology, organization, and business.
What you’ll learn

How to evaluate whether microservices/micro-frontends add value in your context
Why governance, observability, and security are not afterthoughts
Heuristics for defining boundaries (DDD, event storming, rate of change)
Reducing cognitive load with blueprints, platform engineering, and security champions
The architect as a force multiplier across engineering, culture, and org design
Synchronous vs. asynchronous choices, batching, and cost-aware resilience
