As organizations continue their digital transformation journey, the role of Platform Engineering is becoming more prominent. K8s is taking its position as the base to build platforms making the transition toward Platform-as-a-Product practices essential. This panel brings together platform experts to discuss how we got here and where we're headed with a focus on the who, what, when, where, why, and how of getting started today. We'll focus on actionable steps to ensure effective platform engineering and dissect critical considerations for anyone looking to invest in their own platform. Key discussion points include:
- Navigating distinct roles and dynamic intersection of DevOps and Platform Engineering
- Addressing the pivotal decision of building an in-house platform vs buying a PaaS provider and the long-term implications of each
- Integration of best practices and new tools over time
- The importance of a human-first mindset, collaboration, communication, and continuous learning
