Session 1: "Platform Engineering for Generative AI powered applications" by Krzysztof Hałasa & Patryk Bąk (BlueSoft)

This talk will address the essence of Platform Engineering and its benefits for organizations. We aim to compare it with DevOps practices, highlighting the differences and unique advantages. Our presentation will demonstrate that Platform Engineering is not just about technology but a methodology that accelerates the delivery of business value more quickly, efficiently, and securely. We will illustrate how a platform approach enhances developer efficiency and facilitates the adoption of new technologies like e.g. Generative AI.
