In today’s complex digital landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to platform engineering to optimise their software delivery processes and maximize efficiency. The growing complexity of modern applications, coupled with the need for rapid, secure, and scalable deployments, has created a pressing demand for robust Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).

IDPs are a key component of modern platform engineering strategies. An IDP is a self-service layer that sits on top of an organization’s infrastructure, abstracting away complexity and providing developers with the tools and environments they need to build, test, and deploy applications efficiently.

Improving the GitOps Pipeline with the Pulumi Operator

Check out version 2.0 of the Pulumi Kubernetes Operator.

During this session, I wanted the audience to understand and be able to identify when their applications and continuous delivery pipelines have too much knowledge of the platform in which they’re going to run. As an industry, we’re seeing a great deal of momentum towards Platform Engineering and with this comes a Broca divide, a strict division of responsibilities: to build a platform and to consume a platform.
