Date & Time

Description

The world of platform engineering is evolving rapidly, and staying ahead of the curve is essential for anyone looking to ensure they don’t get left behind. Join Luca Galante, a leading voice in platform engineering and the host of PlatformCon, as he unpacks his top predictions for the future of the field in 2025. Drawn from Luca’s extensive conversations with hundreds of engineering teams and his work in the world’s largest platform engineering community, this session will help you prepare for what's coming, avoid common pitfalls, and realign your platform strategy for maximum impact in what may be the most important year for platform engineering.

Luca will dive into:

  • The growing “Backstage backlash” to the once mighty Developer Portal.
  • How the pendulum of engineering history is swinging back toward standardized practices, what that means for you, and why “silos” might not be such an enemy after all.
  • The Pareto principle of platform initiatives: Why "good enough" can be better than aiming for universal developer happiness.

There is no better way to future-proof your organization and prepare yourself for platform engineering in 2025.
