Debugging cloud native apps running in a Kubernetes cluster can be tricky. With the combination of an Internal Developer Platform like Humanitec and pain-less cloud native debugging with Rookout, it feels like developing on your own machine.

As a business scales, it becomes critical to change how developers do their work. Creating leverage for other developers is key to growth. An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) comes in to help. In this webinar, Alan Barr will share his journey building an IDP for 100s of engineers at Veterans United Home Loans and what you should pay attention to so your IDP doesn’t suck.

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are a key element of most top-performing engineering teams’ DevOps strategy. In this webinar, Steve Pereira will discuss how an IDP can help you move beyond “ticket Ops” and where it fits in your DevOps roadmap.

Secrets management is a key element of application configuration management. Hashicorp Vault has established itself as an industry standard for managing secrets for Kubernetes applications. In this hands-on session, Nils will show a best practice implementation of Vault that you can apply to your own clusters and setup.

Developer self-service is a fundamental step every engineering team needs to take to reach true DevOps, true “you build it, you run it”. A key element to achieve self-service is to simplify as much as possible how application developers interact with the infrastructure team setup. In this workshop, Humanitec’s Chris Stephenson will show practical examples of how engineering orgs can optimize their deployment workflows on top of EKS, GKE and AKS.

Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and Kubernetes are all key trends in DevOps. They are changing the way most engineering teams think about and interact with their setups. In this webinar, Jim Sheldon will show how his team at Meltwater built a high-performing developer platform combining the best of all worlds.

Observability is key for SRE, especially for production environments. As the number of environments and services increases, your observability setup gets a lot more complex. This leads to a major challenge: Ops want to shield some of this complexity away from developers, while still providing them with the right degree of observability to debug quickly. We are excited to discuss this topic with one of the leading experts in this field: Liz Fong-Jones

Technological transformation is tricky. Whether you are doing a refactoring of one of your services or a complete re-platforming of your setup, there are so many factors at play one needs to consider. From technical to cultural aspects and everything in between. All of this gets a lot more complex at an enterprise scale. We are excited to discuss organizational transformation with Courtney Kissler, who led large-scale reorgs and tech transformations at Starbucks, Nike, and now Zulily.

We talked to more than 1,800 engineering teams, analyzed their setup and benchmarked them against our models. We are excited to present the results in this webinar and discuss them with the participants.

GitOps and developer self-service are key trends in the DevOps industry. But how can companies operating in highly regulated industries benefit from these new approaches? We are excited to have Steve Wade, a leading expert in implementing self-service and GitOps setups for top-performing Fintech companies, as a guest speaker in this webinar.

Top performing engineering organizations all have one key trait in common: They enable their developers to self-serve the tech they need. But how to reach this goal in a highly regulated industry? In this webinar, David and Alexandru will discuss how their teams built a self-service setup for over 150 engineers in the payment industry, while keeping their workflows extremely compliant.

In this two-part webinar series we will look at two seemingly opposed DevOps approaches: GitOps and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). While GitOps aims at making all configurations and infrastructure available to developers as code, IDPs abstract away as much complexity as possible from engineers. Our CTO Chris is excited to co-host this with Kostis, Developer Advocate at Codefresh. Part 1 will be a high level debate, while in Part 2 they’ll show real life examples with hands-on coding.

In this webinar, we will discuss typical challenges when migrating enterprise setups to Kubernetes.

Kubernetes has become the new darling of the infrastructure world, but often when making technical decisions we forget what tech really is. It’s a byproduct of problem solving. The actual focus is and always has been people and solving their problems, whether it’s for your clients or your colleagues. In this webinar, Lian Li and Eva Lettner, Engineering Managers at Container Solutions will share their insights and best practices, helping organisations transform their tech and their culture to adapt to the new world of Cloud Native.

Enabling developers to self-serve Kubernetes and other cloud native resources is a clear sign of an advanced DevOps setup, but most teams have yet to reach this level. In this webinar, you will learn how to enable developer self-service by using Humanitec’s API via Postman.

Kaspar will demo how to build your own IDP using Humanitec.

DevOps automation should be end-to-end and allow teams to follow a standardized routine, no matter what they are deploying and where. Often, Continuous Delivery setups fall short of automating the provisioning of databases. In this webinar we will show you how to set up an end-to-end flow that’s easy to maintain and enables your developers to self-serve any database they need to include in their setup.

Once scaling becomes a pressing need, teams consider migrating from Heroku to Kubernetes. In this webinar, we will discuss when it is the right time to actually do so with Masashi Beheim. Masashi is part of the Engineering Leadership at Forto, a digital freight forwarder, and successfully completed this journey with his team.

An excellent developer experience that allows for maximum focus and productivity is a key ingredient for the success of leading tech companies. It’s the internal platform teams in those companies that work hard on guaranteeing this competitive advantage for their orgs. Many large companies started to copy this approach and established internal platform teams. In this webinar, we will share some insights on how to master the journey to a great developer experience, especially when you cannot start green field.
