Platforms are the perfect foundation to craft eco-friendlier environments, helping end users to understand and become carbon and energy-efficient. Leaving every IT department by itself to find ways to be more sustainable is a strategy for failing. From our experience, platforms play an essential part in decarbonizing IT, leading and orchestrating various efforts, and providing a unified place to make single activities a helpful product.

When enterprise teams start their platform engineering journey or scale up their Internal Developer Platform (IDP) initiative, they typically aim to achieve standardization and accelerate development as primary objectives.

Please join Jordan Chernev, former Sr. Director, Platform Engineering at Wayfair, as he discusses best practices on evolving away from a centralized DevOps team to a platform engineering practice. Jordan will discuss building and supporting a global and highly scalable platform-as-a-product that enables and accelerates cloud-native development and application modernization efforts.

With platform engineering becoming integral to the way companies build and deploy to their cloud native setups, enterprises are turning to Platform Orchestrators to ensure their Internal Developer Platforms are secure and scalable.

“All the world’s a stage” is one of the marquee phrases from As You Like It, written by William Shakespeare in the 16th century. The phrase talks about the seven stages of life a person goes through from birth to death. But what if I said that William Shakespeare could have also written this for platforms?

Having a great developer experience that speeds up time to market through self-service is now a key competitive advantage. However, the vast majority of platform engineering initiatives fail because platform teams don’t manage to get buy-in and simply cannot get started.

It’s been five years since the publication of Team Topologies by Manuel Pais and Matthew Skelton, which built the foundation for the platform engineering revolution. This roundtable with co-author Manuel Pais will celebrate this influential book and highlight how far we’ve come –– and still have to go. 

In 2024, many organizations still have concerns about adopting platform engineering and cloud technology. Join our webinar to delve into the origins of this fear and how Platform as a Safety Net can help us overcome it.

In this webinar, Mallory will break down the complexities of platform engineering and Internal Developer Platforms by focusing on a clear step-by-step process to transition from MVP to a scalable enterprise-level solution in a predictable way.

If you don’t build your platform, it will build itself. Almost every organization has major parts of a platform already in place (think CI/CD, IaC, GitOps). The question is whether you keep your setup free-floating, or standardize it by building an enterprise-grade Internal Developer Platform (IDP).
