Every enterprise wants developers to adopt and embrace their internal tools and processes, but most internal platforms fall short. Why? Because information is unorganized, standards are inconsistent, and the developer experience is often an afterthought, especially for scaling organizations.
In this session, Manisha Sahasrabudhe, Senior Director of Product at Harness and lead of Harness’s Internal Developer Platform (IDP), will share real-world lessons from building and scaling platforms that developers adopt.
She’ll explore how platform engineering allows developers to self-service their needs in a scalable, compliant way, why governance and speed aren’t mutually exclusive, and what it takes to drive real adoption in modern, cloud-native environments. Since IDPs are where tools, documentation, and processes converge, they’re uniquely positioned to leverage AI for proactive insights, smarter automation, and developer guidance.
Top 3 Takeaways:
- Why platform engineering is key to unifying DevOps workflows in large organizations.
- What it takes to effectively implement an IDP for scaling companies.
- How self-service developer experiences are shaping the future of DevOps platforms.
