Everyone’s talking about Platform Engineering these days. Even Gartner featured it in its Hype Cycle for Software Engineering. But what is Platform Engineering really about? Is it the next stage in the evolution of DevOps? Is it just a fancy rebrand for DevOps or SRE? And most importantly - do I need it?

In this talk Horovits will look into the accumulated experience of larger organizations, the common pains that drive them to adopt Platform Engineering, and what DevOps responsibilities it covers. The talk will also share insights from the recent whitepaper published by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s TAG App Delivery.

Horovits will also provide guidance on which organizations should adopt Platform Engineering and at which point in their DevOps maturity lifecycle. This talk will equip you with the fundamentals to assess Platform Engineering for your organization.
