Top 10 fallacies in platform engineering and how to avoid them
As in every trending new field, you can observe some confusion in the vertical of Internal Developer Platforms and developer self-service. As the building, implementation and adoption of such platforms has very far-reaching implications, every step must be well thought out. Most stakeholders have different views on which are the most pressing pain points a platform should solve, and that is just the beginning. In this webinar, we will share some observations on common pitfalls when building IDPs, based on hundreds of conversations we had with platform teams.
You will learn in detail:
- What the most common fallacies in platform engineering are, when it comes to questions like prioritization, degree of abstraction, visualization, roll out, etc.
- How to avoid such platform engineering anti-patterns
- Where and how to start the platform journey to enable real developer self-service
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?
DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, System Engineers, Infrastructure Kubernetes Administrators, Technical Architects, Application Developers with an affinity with DevOps and Technical Management.
