Platform engineering - a next evolution of DevOps

Software development life cycle involves delivery, access & cognitive frictions. As per State of DevOps Report, “In 50+% organizations, software developers spent only 30-40% of their time on feature development.” To address this, product engineering teams need an Engineering Platform (a.k.a Internal Developer Platform) that hides complexity and offers self-service functionality along with compliance and security requirements backed-in. In this talk, we will introduce a framework for building engineering platforms as 5 building blocks and 4 accountabilities with a product development mindset.

Multi-cloud strategy - Choices and trade-offs

As per IDC, 81% of enterprises are using multiple public clouds along with one or more private cloud deployments to address various business imperatives such as leveraging best-of-breed services, addressing business continuity, managing vendor lock-in etc. However, most enterprises struggle with the complexity of multi-cloud when they approach it as a reactive vs. strategic initiative.

In this talk on ‘multi-cloud’, we elaborate on a sustainable multi-cloud journey with a structured framework that is built on 3 core tenets: workload assessment, multi-cloud operating model and governance.

Kotlin, next generation language for the enterprises

Today's world full of new technology buzzwords making it more and more difficult to chose and build capability within organization. Most of the organization needs path to move to next generation software technologies, keeping current investments valuable, not only in infrastructure but also on people capability side. With multiple experience at large enterprises, I learned that Kotlin is good investment for organizations, as it can be a language of choice from Mobile development, Microservices implementations to Data Engineering. Also as this primarily runs on JVM and 100% compatible with Java and also complied to multiple platforms, infrastructure can be leveraged with moving to cloud native approach. Learning curve for Kotlin is again natural path for any developers like Java, C#, Python etc.

Observability beyond just application and infrastructure monitoring

Observability is a more comprehensive approach to monitoring than traditional methods, which typically focus on tracking metrics and logs. Observability allows you to see the relationships between different parts of your system, which can help you to identify and troubleshoot problems more quickly.

In this talk, we are going to learn more about, identify the root cause of problems by looking at relationships between different events across systems, identifying problems before they cause outages or other disruptions, and use observability data to optimize your business metrics, application performance, improve your security, or reduce your costs. Go beyond just traditional monitoring use cases.
