Internal Developer Platforms – Of the people, By the people, For the people – Nicki Watt, CEO/CTO

What does it take to build a robust internal developer platform (IDP) for your multiple engineering teams to use, and build it well? One which can accommodate multiple teams, of varying skills, doing similar (as well as very different) things? Kubernetes has become the de facto backbone for many platforms – but is this enough?

Nicki explores these questions, looking at the key technical considerations as well as organisational, soft skills and other factors which form a key part of the platform engineering discipline.Drawing on experience of working across a variety of clients with different setups, Nicki looks at what it takes to build platforms which are fit to serve the varied communities which will ultimately use them.
