Platform Engineering Day

Platform Engineering Day is dedicated to exploring the real-world challenges and advanced practices behind building and scaling Internal Developer and Agentic Platforms. Platforms provide curated capabilities, frameworks, and self-service experiences that accelerate the internal consumers who build on them, both application developers and, increasingly, AI agents. As platform engineering evolves, we need to ensure that we take a holistic, socio-technical approach to provide high-impact experiences, as described in the CNCF Platforms White Paper and Platform Engineering Maturity Model. We invite proposals that include deep dives into platform engineering case studies, practical strategies for measuring and maturing platform capabilities, and emerging patterns for integrating AI into platform workflows. Join Platform Engineers, Product Managers, Solutions Architects, and cloud-native stakeholders as we share lessons learned in building and managing internal platforms.

This event is one of our KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe CNCF-hosted Co-located Events. In-person attendees have the option to register for an All-Access In-Person KubeCon + CloudNativeCon pass that will include entry to ALL CNCF-hosted co-located events + KubeCon + CloudNativeCon.
