Personally, a never-ending source of energy are all the people reaching out to us that love our product, that love Internal Developer Platforms. I had a great chat with Aaron Erickson, who built the developer platform over at Salesforce. It was cool to share our mutual “irrational excitement” that I observe as a typical pattern in those that have experienced teams with well set up IDPs. You simply know that it’s worth fighting for and making that stuff available to all other teams.
Aaron and I decided right there to do a joint webinar so he can share how he built the platform at Salesforce and what teams of all sizes can learn from that.
Another one of these conversations was with Puppet’s Field CTO Nigel. It was very interesting to see how clear the positive impact of developer self-service is, as reported in his upcoming DevOps report. We will be discussing this and other DevOps trends in May.
Another conversation worth following is the one we are going to have with Manuel Pais, co-author of the book “Team topologies”. Manuel will explain the differences between the traditional internal platform approach and state-of-the-art internal developer platforms.
Our friends at Elastic are giving a great webinar to explain the challenges of using Elasticsearch in dynamic environments (preview environments etc.) together with my colleague Chris.
Last but not least I am excited to announce that we now support the vast majority of registries and make our registry service available for everybody - a big step for everyone operating Humanitec at scale. This is the announcement.
Gartner says 60% of enterprise software teams are evaluating Internal Developer Platforms this year. If you do, set yourself up for success, check out Humanitec.
Stay safe and healthy and please join me in praying for our friends and colleagues in India.
Cheers,
Kaspar
