- Understand platform engineering principles including self-service, golden paths, and developer experience
- Design and implement internal developer portals using tools like Backstage or Azure Developer Center
- Build infrastructure-as-code templates and automation for self-service environment provisioning
- Configure security policies, compliance guardrails, and cost controls within a developer platform
- Measure platform adoption and developer experience using platform engineering metrics and feedback loops
Who Should Attend
Platform engineers, DevOps leads, and cloud architects responsible for building internal developer platforms and improving engineering productivity at scale.
