Platform Strategies Accelerating AI Initiatives
For years the Platform Engineering movement has gained momentum demonstrating organizational gains in availability, security, and developer productivity. Platform strategies often naturally encourage movements in other strategic areas of a technology roadmap such as API and data strategies. The consistent interface and accessibility to your data that platform strategies have built are proving to be an accelerator for AI initiatives that benefit from predictable and consistent interfaces to your proprietary data. We will see many of the organizations with effective and scalable cloud and platform strategies be the first to deliver meaningful AI wins to their employees and customers.
The Business Necessity for Platform Engineering
The momentum around Platform Engineering as an industry trend continues to increase almost exponentially. A challenge for many technology leaders is making sense of how industry trends might apply to our own business strategies. Like Cloud Computing, Containers, Kubernetes, and even DevOps time and again trends with this kind of momentum prove to be a critical success factor for an organization's technology strategy. As a result it's vital we understand how Platform Engineering applies to us and can be implemented to help support our organization's success.
In this talk I will share the story of SPS Commerce's evolution to platform engineering and how it supports our strategic business priorities to ensure we enable the continued growth of our business and improve our delivery on the organization's strategic priorities. We will also explore how SPS Commerce uses platform engineering strategies to improve operational confidence in resiliency and security while increasing developer productivity.
Productize Undifferentiated Engineering
Maximizing the focus your developers give to solving customer problems and bringing awesome features to market is key to winning and staying in the lead in your market.
Large technology organizations have a challenging balance to strike figuring out where reuse is valuable and where it may be important to require specific patterns. I have been a part of a fascinating growth journey at SPS that has given me a unique perspective on how to build a high performing technology organization leveraging the best technologies and tools available. What do you share? What do you require? How do you communicate expectations?
In this talk I will share our story to date on how we've adopted internal platform solutions as a product and how it's helping us maintain our leadership position in the market. Solving undifferentiated engineering as a product is the key to allowing your product developers to focus their efforts on what matters the most, your customers!
