Platform Engineering: Enabling better DevEx
Pascal, Monday 14:25 - 15:15

Developer Productivity, Velocity, 10X… We’re all familiar with the buzzwords, the promises of accelerated software development. Yet, in the trenches, we find ourselves waiting on cloud teams to close database tickets, juggling dependencies on our trusty laptops, and deciphering the intricacies of our platform. Even our technical debt has its own technical debt.

But fear not! Emerging from the shadows is a practice that promises to transform our Developer Experience. In this session, we’ll dive deep into our view on platform engineering. We’ll explore how it's principles can elevate developer experience, untangle complexity, and pave the way for you to become a happy and productive developer.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of platform engineering, share hard-earned insights, and celebrate the products that propelled us forward from 2 year release cycles to the Microsoft you know today.
