“Platform engineering” is the latest buzzword in the modern software engineering world

The holy grail for platform engineering today is to achieve the most effective internal developer platform (IDP) that enables the rest of the developers in the company to be as effective as possible. Can this job be accomplished with engineering skills alone? 

In this session, I will discuss how to build an engineering platform that engineers will actually want to use. This talk will define the role of the platform product manager and the importance of the role. I will also go over common product practices to use when building the developer platform and the importance of making sure your IDP actually helps the developers to build the company’s products faster and better. 

You will leave this talk with:

  • An understanding of platform engineering and how it relates to DevOps?
  • What makes an IDP and a platform team successful?
  • Practices you can use to build a successful platform, and pitfalls to avoid.
