More and more teams are building Internal Developer Platforms. But actual war-stories of engineers that have built an internal PaaS end-to-end are rare. Galo Navarro was lead in the team responsible for building one to streamline the developer experience of 1500 of their colleagues. A challenging task, having to navigate management expectations, developers requirements and vendors competing with you. In the talk he will cover:

Why Adevinta decided to build an internal developer platform
How they approached this both technically and culturally
The biggest obstacles and challenges and how to measure success

After a 30 minutes talk, there will be 15 minutes for Q&A. We’d like to encourage you to submit your questions in advance.

A recording of the webinar and related materials will be shared with webinar attendees afterwards.

Audience - who should join?

Platform Engineers, CloudOps, DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, System Engineers, Infrastructure Kubernetes Administrators, Technical Architects, Application Developers with an affinity with DevOps and Technical Management.
