Name: In person: AI agents + Platform Engineering: Can you ship securely at scale?
Start: 2025-11-18T01:00:00.000Z
Location: CircleCI Office

Are you in a platform team, drowning in hundreds of competing priorities? Eleanor Millman from SiriusXM reveals how her team built a quantitative framework that cuts through the noise, using developer insights and business drivers.

Join Eleanor Millman as she unveils SiriusXM's game-changing approach to platform prioritization that has successfully evaluated 200+ internal projects. In this session, you'll discover:

* The 7 impact factors that quantify project value and how to weight them against business context and developer feedback
* How to build a transparent, structured framework that eliminates prioritization ambiguity and drives cross-team alignment
* Real-world lessons from implementing data-driven decisions across diverse engineering demands

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.

Speaker:
**Eleanor Millman - Internal AI Product Lead @ SiriusXM**

Eleanor Millman was the head of product for the SiriusXM platform engineering organization from 2023-2025, overseeing the product team's growth from one to four product managers. Prior to her work at SiriusXM, Eleanor worked as a product manager for technical products at Google, VMware, and Pivotal Labs. Her early career as a Java developer inspired her to focus on building great products for software engineers

200+ projects, one framework: How SiriusXM prioritized what really matters

Online event

We’ve established that platform engineering is eating the world. But how is AI - the most significant technological shift of our era - shaping the platform engineering evolution? Join our inaugural webinar to discuss the newly released State of AI in Platform Engineering industry report.

73% of surveyed platform engineers say AI plays a large role in organizational goals, and 90% expect it to transform their future. Yet many are still stuck turning individual AI experiments into real strategic value. Join Head of Ecosystem, Sam Barlien, as he presents the brand new report drawing from a survey of over 200 platform engineers. Sam will discuss:

* How is the intersection of AI and platform engineering driving the AI revolution?
* Is “prompt fatigue” the new cognitive overload?
* The disconnect between AI potential and realized value

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.

State of AI in Platform Engineering 2025

Sign up through [Luma](https://luma.com/9lyfjkc5)

Everyone talks about Infrastructure as Code as if it’s the solved foundation of modern engineering. The reality? Most teams are stuck in endless scanning, alert fatigue, and ticket purgatory. IaC was supposed to speed you up, but in 2025, it slows more teams down than it helps.

At this meetup, we’re bringing the controversy to the table:

* Is IaC the biggest bottleneck in platform engineering today?
* Do “golden paths” actually work, or are they just governance theater?
* Is AI fixing misconfigurations… or creating bigger ones?

Expect blunt takes, real-world stories, and zero sugarcoating. Whether you think IaC is the future or a dead weight, come ready to debate.

Why join?
Because platform engineering isn’t about buzzwords. It’s about making hard calls. You’ll walk away knowing where your team really sits in the IaC maturity journey (👉🏻 most orgs never make it past Level 2), and what radical moves can actually break you out of the cycle.

🍸 Agenda
5:00 – 5:30 pm \| Welcome \+ networking
5:30 – 6:30 pm \| Panel \+ audience debate: IaC is broken \- prove us wrong
6:30 – 7:00 pm \| Networking\, war stories\, and refreshments

Platform Engineering meetup NYC: Is IaC our biggest bottleneck?

Mr Blue

The #1 platform engineering event of the year is back… in Paris🇫🇷
On October 16th, we’re bringing together platform engineers, leaders, and builders from across Europe to share stories, blueprints, and debate the future of platform engineering.

We’ve got a killer lineup. Kelsey Hightower is back as keynote, joined by Gregor Hohpe with his latest thoughts on platform physics. We’ll also hear from Hela Ben Farhat @ Bpifrance on how platforms drive revenue, and Serhii Vasylenko @ Grammarly on building developer-first platforms. Plus, speakers from Criteo, PayFit, Meilleurtaux, Deezer and more.

The agenda spans Internal Developer Platforms, Platform as Product strategy, and the real war stories of what it actually takes to implement platform engineering at scale.

If you missed the energy in London and New York, trust me, you’ll want to catch it in Paris.

❤️ As a member of the community, you can get 10% off your ticket with the code PLATFORMCONPARIS-10OFF. But hurry, early bird prices won’t last much longer.

Whether you’re building platforms, leading platform teams, or just getting started, this is the place to be in Europe this fall.

AI coding agents promise speed, but without strong platform engineering they can create chaos. In this networking event, learn why governance, golden paths, and platform adoption aren’t nice-to-haves; they’re essential for securely shipping AI workloads and making “platforms for AI” the real enterprise advantage.

AI is everywhere right now, but in the rush to “add AI,” many teams are overlooking the fundamentals that make it work at scale. Without clear workflows, adoption strategies, and built-in security, adding AI agents often means more complexity, more risk, and more firefighting.
Come meet others working in the field and join this open, practical discussion with engineers who are actually in the trenches shipping AI workloads. Bring your war stories, your wins, your failures, and your questions.

⛳**During the meetup we’ll discuss:**

* How to spot the security and complexity risks AI agents introduce without standardized workflows
* How governance, golden paths, and platform adoption can keep AI deployments safe and scalable
* How AI coding agents are reshaping the platform team’s role and what that means for your org

Come network and learn with us!

🎈**Agenda:**

5:00 - 5:30 pm PST - welcome and networking
5:30 - 6:30 pm PST - panel discussion, questions from the audience
6:30 - 7:00 pm PST - networking with refreshments 🍸 and small delicacies🥗

If you’re attending Microsoft Ignite or QCon in San Francisco, this meetup is the perfect chance to connect with fellow practitioners. Don’t miss it!
