For the past 25 years, software organizations have grappled with a persistent challenge: how to manage code, tools, and infrastructure that is shared across multiple teams. Centralized teams often fall short, offering clunky systems, ignoring user needs, and failing to deliver stability and reliability. Small teams experience a different set of challenges, frequently drowning in complexity. The few that have cracked the code embrace a different approach—platform engineering—to create robust, user-friendly platforms.
Join us for a conversation on platform engineering with Camille Fournier and Ian Nowland, coauthors of the O’Reilly book Platform Engineering, and Eric Ledyard, VP of enterprise architecture at Coder. They’ll discuss what platform engineering is (and isn’t), the benefits and value it brings to developers and teams, and the shifts your organization needs to make to truly become a platform-led organization.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it
- Understand why the shift to a platform-led organization requires your whole culture to shift
- Learn what platform engineering teams are and are not
- Discover how product and engineering need to work together for success
- Explore the challenges that emerge when you scale platforms
