Cloud Native London November 2025: FusionAuth, CAST AI, and Meghdo


Three speakers from FusionAuth, CAST AI, and Meghdo joined us at the November Cloud Native London meetup at the eSynergy offices, as well as via the YouTube/Twitch livestreams.

We are immensely grateful to Testkube, TechShack, and CAST AI for their generous support and sponsorship. More info on them below!

Overview

Kicking off our evening was Mark Robustell from FusionAuth talking about Auth: Build vs Open Source vs Buy(starting at 16:13). He talked about:

  • Options for Auth
  • Pros and cons of each option
  • How FusionAuth can offer many advantages of each of the options

Following this, Kunal Kushwaha from CAST AI explaining Container Live Migration: Moving Workloads Without Downtime(starting at 45:04). His takeaways are about how to:

  • The automation challenges of migrating workloads at scale.
  • How container live migration is powered and orchestrated in Kubernetes.
  • How to make live migration practical for resiliency and cost optimization.

And wrapping up our evening was Ram Swaminathan from Meghdo exploring From Manual Ops to Self-Service: Building Cloud Infrastructure Orchestration at Scale(starting at 1:33:06). He discussed:

  • Self-Service Platform Engineering: Design principles for building developer-centric infrastructure platforms that eliminate ops bottlenecks while maintaining enterprise-grade security and compliance through RBAC and audit logging.
  • Sub-60-Minute Multi-Cloud Deployments: Architectural patterns and open-source tool combinations (Terraform, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana) that enable instant infrastructure provisioning across AWS, GCP, and Azure without vendor lock-in.
  • Zero Trust Infrastructure Access: How to eliminate long-lived credentials and implement time-bound access tokens for cloud orchestration platforms, reducing security risk while maintaining developer velocity.

And of course, our usual group photo!
