About
Developer experience (DX) is a crucial factor in driving innovation, boosting productivity, and enhancing job satisfaction for software teams. Yet, developers often face high cognitive load, long waiting times for resources, and the constant fear of introducing errors. Platform engineering offers a groundbreaking approach to resolving these challenges.

By treating internal developer platforms (IDPs) as products and focusing on developer-centric design, platform engineering reduces complexity, increases automation, and provides self-service capabilities. The result is a streamlined, more efficient development process that enables developers to focus on writing great code.

What You Will Learn

Standardization by Design: Learn how platform engineering enforces consistent development practices through standardized workflows, templates, and processes. This approach minimizes cognitive load, reduces misconfigurations, and enhances developer autonomy.

Frictionless Self-Service: Discover how platform engineering empowers developers to provision resources, deploy applications, and manage environments independently, eliminating the need for constant support from operations teams.

Automation, Security & Efficiency Gains: See how automation reduces manual effort, cuts down on waiting times, and speeds up the development cycle — all while maintaining system integrity, bolstering application security, and supporting operational efficiency.

Who Should Attend

This webinar is ideal for software developers, platform engineers, DevOps practitioners, and team leads looking to enhance their team’s daily workflows. If you’re seeking to eliminate friction points in your development process, increase developer satisfaction, and boost productivity, this session is for you.
Join us as we explore how platform engineering revolutionizes developer experience by focusing on self-service, standardization, and automation. Gain actionable strategies to reduce cognitive load, accelerate development timelines, and create an environment where developers thrive.
