CONFERENCE DAY TWO

1:30 PM PRESENTATION: Scaling Down and Cleaning Up: Managing Legacy Systems at GroupOn

GroupOn operates as a much leaner business today as a public company than in its days as a unicorn startup. As the company has scaled down, the engineering team faces the challenge of maintaining and reengineering a system built without cost constraints to be more cost conscious and sustainable. This session explores how GroupOn is tackling legacy complexity, consolidating tooling, and finding the right balance between buying and building to right-size for the future.

  • How GroupOn’s tech stack became too big to manage efficiently
  • The hidden costs of legacy tooling in smaller orgs
  • Strategies for consolidation, integration, and simplification
  • What we’re buying vs. what we’re building
  • Lessons learned from cleaning up a system built for scale
