Скачать или смотреть Closing Keynote: On the Origin of Platforms — Enterprise Platform Evolution

Jake Walden, Technical Product Owner, Capital One; Brad Whitfield, Distinguished Engineer, Capital One

In this talk, we will dig into a typical platform engineering journey based on our industry experience. It all starts small, with initial efforts focused on building a minimal viable platform. As the platform begins to gain traction, the next steps involve slowly building partnerships and fostering collaboration across different teams within an organization.

We'll explore the critical aspects of scaling a platform, emphasizing the importance of establishing trust and effective communication channels. Leveraging Kubernetes' inherent capabilities, such as the control loop, we'll demonstrate how to create a more reliable, observable, auditable, and secure platform.

As the platform expands, we'll discuss strategies for managing growth and complexity. This includes the adoption of namespace-as-a-service (NaaS), managed infrastructure offerings, and patterns for building things like application platform-as-a-service (aPaaS) model to streamline the developer experience and reduce cognitive load for dev teams.

Join us to learn about the principles and best practices that drive successful platform engineering. This session is ideal for Kubernetes practitioners and platform engineers who are interested in the practical aspects of building and scaling a robust Kubernetes-based platform within a large enterprise.
