The Platform Engineering Meetup group kicks off its first meetup post revamp in collaboration with the "Google for Developers" group. ⭐️
We’re here to explore how internal platforms are transforming the way teams build, ship, and scale software.
From golden paths to resilience patterns, we’ll dive into real stories and practical insights. ✅
Let’s kick things off with curiosity, conversation, and community!
It's a fantastic chance to learn, network, and connect with fellow cloud enthusiasts right here in Bengaluru.
Don't miss out on celebrating a decade of innovation with the Platform Engineering & Resilience Engineering Meetup group!
The event is only for 100 confirmed invites to people based on the Google Form shared previously.
RSVP on meetup.com, CNCF Community page or just filling the Google form is not the confirmation for the event.
Agenda:
1. From Policies to Portals: Building Intelligent, Reliable Platform by Bijoy Paul (Principal Platform Engineer at Porter)
Abstract: See how Open Policy Agent, Gemini 3, and Backstage can be combined to bring policy enforcement, intelligent assistance, and governance into one seamless developer experience making platforms more reliable while keeping complexity in check.
2. Google Workshop
3. Manage, Scale, and Build Platforms using k0rdent by Bharath Nallapeta (Senior Software Engineer at Mirantis)
Kubernetes has transformed the world of building applications as a container orchestrator, but managing Kubernetes infrastructures and developer platforms at scale remains a complex challenge for developers, DevOps engineers and the newly brewed persona of Platform Engineers.
Simplified ClusterAPI (CAPI) Adoption: ClusterAPI is powerful but notoriously complex, requiring hundreds of lines of YAML and deep expertise. k0rdent abstracts this complexity, making it easier for teams to adopt CAPI without a steep learning curve.
This increases CAPI adoption in the Kubernetes community, accelerating infrastructure standardization.
Enhanced Kubernetes Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Operations: The ecosystem thrives on interoperability across clouds and on-prem. k0rdent provides a unified approach to managing Kubernetes clusters across clouds.
Strengthens GitOps and Declarative Infrastructure: GitOps is key to reliable, automated Kubernetes operations, but many struggle with applying it to cluster management.
k0rdent integrates GitOps practices, making declarative, version-controlled cluster deployments effortless. This reinforces best practices in Kubernetes automation, improving security and consistency. Join the talk to learn how k0rdent enables scalable, GitOps-driven Kubernetes automation and helps platform engineers build secure Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).
4. Beyond Terraform: Platform Engineering with Crossplane and KubeVela by Vibhor Chinda ( SE2 at Guidewire), Shivin Gopalani (Senior SE at Guidewire, Yuvaraj S (SE3 at Guidewire)
n this talk, we’ll explore how Crossplane extends the Kubernetes API to provision and manage cloud infrastructure, and how KubeVela builds on top of it to deliver a developer-friendly application delivery and platform experience. We’ll break down the core concepts, compare them to traditional IaC workflows, and walk through a real-world example of building self-service infrastructure pipelines — all without leaving your Kubernetes cluster.
Whether you’re a Kubernetes pro or just getting started with IaC, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how Crossplane and KubeVela can take your platform engineering beyond Terraform.
