We’re back — and this time, it’s all about The Platform Effect.

How platforms are redefining cloud-native, engineering velocity, and the way teams build, scale, and operate modern systems.


This meetup dives deep into:

☁️ Cloud-native architectures

⚙️ Platform Engineering in real-world systems

🚢 Kubernetes at scale

🧠 Building internal developer platforms (IDPs)

🔁 Observability, automation & cloud operations

🌐 The future of cloud ecosystems


If you’re building on cloud, running platforms, scaling infra, or engineering products on Kubernetes — this one’s for you.

We’re excited to open CFP submissions for our upcoming CNCF community meetup — The Platform Effect — a deep dive into cloud-native platforms, platform engineering, and the systems shaping modern infrastructure.

We’re inviting practitioners, engineers, architects, founders, and community leaders to share real-world knowledge, battle-tested systems, and practical insights.


We’re looking for talks on:

  • Cloud-native architecture & design patterns
  • Platform Engineering & Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs)
  • Kubernetes (production, scale, reliability, security)
  • DevOps, SRE & automation
  • Observability, monitoring & reliability engineering
  • Cloud security & compliance
  • AI + Cloud platforms
  • Multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and distributed systems
  • Open-source tooling & CNCF ecosystem projects
  • Platform product thinking
  • Building developer experience (DevEx)


What we value:

  •  Real-world implementation stories
  •  Production use-cases
  •  Failures, learnings, and trade-offs
  •  Architecture decisions
  •  Practical takeaways
  •  Engineering depth over marketing fluff
  •  Open-source mindset


Submission Guidelines: (Your proposal should include)

  • Talk title
  • Abstract (200–300 words)
  • Speaker bio
  • Target audience
  • Technical level (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced)
  • Format preference
  • Key takeaways for attendees


Whether you’re scaling Kubernetes in production, building an internal platform, designing cloud-native systems, or shaping developer platforms — we want your story.

Let’s build.

Let’s share.

Let’s scale together. ⚡
