Building Platforms With Empathy and YAML at the LEGO Group - Mads Høgstedt Danquah & Christian Trolle Mikkelsen, The LEGO Group
Tuesday April 1, 2025 15:55 - 16:20 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room H
Delivering platforms as products is no easy feat—it’s like assembling a set with missing instructions and an endless pile of YAML bricks that don’t quite click together.

Two enthusiastic engineers from the LEGO Group share their story of building and leading Kubernetes-based platform teams—platforms that provide the foundational studs that keep the factories running smoothly and power cloud services supporting one of the world’s most cherished brands.

In this talk, you will learn how groups of platforms collaborated to deliver a coherent user experience via APIs and Baseplate—an internal development portal. You’ll discover how standardized telemetry enables end-users’ operations and how empathy and collaboration enables engineers to deliver great products.

Great platforms are like great LEGO builds: with the right bag of golden bricks that fit together in a system, you can enable users’ creativity and curiosity, letting them dream big and build even bigger.
