Platform Engineering 101: Building Internal Developer Platforms
Conference (INTERMEDIATE level)

Tell us what you want, what you really, really want… Developer productivity and reduced cognitive load, of course!

In our world of cloud-native Java development and shift-left mentality, developers are now drowning! They have an endless flood of tasks and responsibilities on their shoulders, whilst battling an ever-increasing sea of potential technologies and tools to use. Change is needed! So, build a dam with us through platform engineering and IDPs.

In this session, we’ll explore the concepts of platform engineering and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and how they can help to relieve the cognitive load on developers, help to standardize technologies and tools used throughout an organization, streamline CI/CD pipelines and in essence enable greater developer productivity. We’ll investigate how this can all be achieved in the cloud, with example applications running in OpenShift, with Red Hat Developer Hub as the basis of our IDP.
