What is this DevEx and Platform Engineering I keep hearing about?

Over the past few years, we've seen a huge change in the technology landscape.

It seems like everyone is moving Windows and Linux application hosts to containers, Kubernetes, PaaS, and hybrid cloud models. That's complex enough, but the success of DevOps and the "you build it, you run it" mindset adds a new layer of complexity. Each self-managing feature team has to make many micro-decisions to transform their applications.

For a few applications, that's not a big deal. However, replicated across many teams, it becomes complex quickly. This has paved the way for Platform Engineering. At its core, Platform Engineering is about improving Developer Experience (DevEx), which is pivotal for using DevOps to its full potential at an organizational scale.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

How Platform Engineering teams can navigate the challenges of digital transformation and DevOps integration.
Why you need to prioritize DevEx and treat processes as products in their own right.
About successful patterns and common pitfalls in Platform Engineering and DevEx, so you can make informed decisions.
Strategies for building golden paths that streamline development processes. This includes how to align teams with business goals.

This is an introductory talk on Platform Engineering. It's perfect for anyone undergoing a digital transformation who needs to quickly level-up lots of developers.
