Platform Engineering for Architects - Crafting Platforms as a Product - Max Körbächer, Liquid Reply & Hilliary Lipsig, Red Hat
Tuesday April 1, 2025 15:55 - 16:20 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room F
Most Internal Developer Platforms fail not because of technical limitations, but because they're built like infrastructure projects rather than products developers want to use. Drawing from our combined experience of implementing platforms across enterprises and different use cases, this talk provides practical insights into designing platforms that create real value.
We'll explore why traditional infrastructure-first thinking leads to low adoption and how a product mindset transforms platform success. You'll learn how to identify actual developer needs, implement the right level of abstraction, and create platforms that evolve with your organization.
Highlighting practical patterns for managing technical debt, implementing effective self-service capabilities, and measuring platform success through meaningful metrics will round up the session. You'll leave with concrete strategies for building platforms that developers choose to use rather than are forced to adopt.
