About the team
We are REALM's Emerging Programs - Innovation and Coordination team aka EPIC. The primary function of the EPIC team is to drive the Region flexibility (RF) and Diversify AWS Region usage (DARU) campaigns across ATS, Last Mile and DEX as well as build AI solutions.

EPIC Team operates in the form of 4 separate pillars. Below are the details of each pillar:

1. Region Flexibility (RF): This team focuses on developing the solutions to be used by ATS and SDO as a whole to assist with accomplishing the RF initiatives by program managing the migration of all services from NetScaler to Tardigrade and remove unavailable AWS dependencies across ATS, LM and DEX orgs. This team also guides the development teams through the migration process and automating manual efforts thus making it easy to serve existing SDO (Stores, Devices, and Other) customer traffic from new AWS regions.
2. Diversify AWS Region Usage (DARU): This team focuses on migrating services to more efficient hardware and also by migrating to ZAZ (Spain) region and where ever possible automates the process of migrating or expanding a service and its infrastructure from any given AWS region to another and where automation is not possible, guide users through any remaining manual steps. This team also run the campaigns to provide ATS and SDO teams with visibility into their DARU campaign progress.
3. Resiliency: This team establishes standards for resilience engineering, metrics and mechanisms to measure performance against those standards, and drives programs to meet or exceed those standards across the organization. We will guide the organization through incremental phases of readiness and resilience, testing our services throughout their development lifecycle, during deployment, testing, staging, and production. We will drive teams to design with failure in mind, and build organizational confidence, through demonstrated resilience, that our systems are prepared not just for large scale events, but the types of uncommon failures that happen routinely at scale.
4. Tools and Automation: This team works on building tools and automations to make our day to day work easier and also helps other Dev/DevOps teams.
