LeadDev Broadcasts - How can AI actually help your teams?
AI is a pretty divisive topic amongst developer teams. While a large percentage of engineering teams already use and benefit from AI, a significant percentage of developers still aren’t sure of the efficacy of AI tools.

Building a self-service Kubernetes platform for developers
You are a developer and have seen great people trying to develop solutions to enable you to ship your code securely and easily. But still, you feel like another layer of complexity is added daily. Despite the commendable efforts to streamline code deployment, the complexity escalates continually. Let’s discuss how platform engineering teams can solve this with a self-service approach. We’ll delve into the intricacies developers face daily, examining how abstracting technical details and exposing only crucial decision points can mitigate complexity.
Our discussion begins by dissecting the specific challenges faced by developers in the current landscape, acknowledging the commendable efforts made to simplify code deployment. I will talk about the concept of a self-service Kubernetes platform—an approach that abstracts technical complexities, leaving developers with only the decisions essential to their craft.
We’ll explore the key components of this self-service platform and provide actionable insights into its practical implementation. Through real-world examples and success stories, I will demonstrate how this approach not only benefits Python developers by enhancing security and ease of deployment but also positively impacts platform engineering teams.

Lessons from Failing GitOps in Delivering Self-Service Kubernetes Onboarding
We tried GitOps to enable developers to onboard to the Kubernetes platform in a self-service approach, and we failed. In this session, we will see why we failed initially by adopting the GitOps approach and the challenges we encountered that led us to change our approach. We will see details of our requirements, why we initially chose the GitOps Approach, and the lessons we learned. We will see a detailed exploration of the technical aspects of our more flexible approach to self-service.
This presentation is about a real-world failure. It addresses the real-world experiences and lessons learned, offering insights and details of considering different approaches. By sharing our story, I aim to contribute to the community’s understanding of the diverse solutions available and inspire others to adapt strategies that align with their unique needs.
This session will include architecture diagrams about the failed approach to our new approach, code examples, and tools. I will dive deep into how we approach embracing flexibility while keeping our platform secure and cost-effective.

The right Level of Abstraction: How to Create Maintainable Infrastructure Code with Terraform and Generative AI
Creating infrastructure that is both well-architected and easy to maintain is a critical aspect of any organization's technology stack.
One of the key factors that determines whether code is maintainable or not is the level of abstraction at which it is written. Writing code at the wrong level of abstraction can lead to a host of problems, including poor readability, scalability issues, and maintainability challenges, which can result in increased infrastructure costs and operational headaches.
In this talk I talked about why using generative AI tools to write infrastructure code is the sign of wrong abstraction level and what should we do instead.
LeadDev Broadcasts - Designing the best cloud architecture for your org
In order to scale in the cloud, your services need to be functioning within a well designed architecture. Crafting your cloud architecture around the pillars of scale, resilience, and agility is the key to staying ahead in a dynamic business landscape. But remember, one size doesn't fit all when it comes to cloud architecture – tailor your architecture to your unique needs, ensuring it not only supports your current apps but also paves the way for seamless growth.
