Platform Engineering Day

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) provide curated capabilities, frameworks and experiences to facilitate and accelerate the productivity of internal customers such as application developers. The process and techniques described in the CNCF Platforms White Paper and Platform Engineering Maturity Model highlight how organizations aspiring to build effective Developer Experience via an IDP require socio-technical investment. While many focus on the technical tools, this day will focus on how to grow an effective ecosystem around technical solutions. Platform Engineering Day brings together Platform Engineers, Product Managers, Solutions Architects and key stakeholders across the Cloud Native Community to share lessons learned in building and managing internal platforms, measuring platform maturity and improving golden paths and developer experience.
