Is Platform Engineering a hype? Let's build a platform together! by Fernando Ripoll
I will explore how an engineer can build his/her own Cloud Native Platform without losing the cool. I will take a deep dive into the realm of Platform Engineering. What is it? Is it just a buzzword? Can we learn how to build a platform in 50 minutes and demonstrate its value?
Platform Engineering has become a hot topic in the tech industry. It promises to streamline operations, foster innovation, and accelerate product development. But is it just another industry fad, or is it a game-changer here to stay?
Together, we will embark on an exhilarating journey to build a platform from scratch. This hands-on approach will provide attendees with practical insight into the intricacies of Platform Engineering. We'll break down the processes, discuss the tools, and navigate the best practices to construct a robust and scalable platform.
By exploring the practical aspects of Platform Engineering, we aim to demystify the hype and equip participants with the knowledge and skills to leverage this emerging field effectively. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a curious novice, join us as we uncover the real value of Platform Engineering. Let's build, learn, and hack together, as part of a supportive and collaborative community!
