The most fundamental of trade-offs in platform engineering: providing the right level of abstraction and consistency, without compromising on autonomy and speed of innovation. This trade-off poses a never-ending tension between Dev and Ops. Andrew and Kaspar will discuss how to overcome this through open, composable abstractions and provide insights on the latest trends in the platform engineering, cloud-native and database world.

Restricting developers by enforcing standardization and abstractions is a risky game. You might create fewer errors, but you risk ending up with a frustrated team and limited innovation. But how to achieve both, high velocity of innovation and a continuous app-dev assembly line?

Andrew (SVP of Product Management at MongoDB) and Kaspar (Humanitec’s CEO) will discuss the value of open, composable abstractions to align Dev and Ops, while limiting cognitive load on developers and speeding up release cycles.

‍

They will cover:

The value and risk of abstraction
How to design and apply “open, composable abstractions”
What platform engineering means for your organization

‍

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