OpenUK London #9: Platform Engineering

Join OpenUK on Tuesday 21 November for our ninth OpenUK community meetup! We will talk about the hot topic of 2023: Platform Engineering!

• How do we use it to do more with less?
• To increase developer productivity?
• To facilitate a conversation between engineering and business?
• How do we create a product that our internal devs actually want to use?
• How do you find your minimal viable platform?
• How do you measure the developer experience?
• How does open source fit into all of this?
• What are some big name open source projects making headlines? Any needing contributors?

6:30pm: Arrive, grab a bev, a slice and a chat. Scope out our swag table (bring pieces to contribute or trade!)
7:15pm: We will kick off with a Panel on the State of Platform Engineering with OpenCredo's Nicki Watt, DevRel Daniel Bryant, and Syntasso's Cat Morris, who have all been there, built that [Livestreaming begins]
8:00pm: Breakout Platform-as-a-Product workshop, facilitated by Tyk's Richard Johnston [We can do a virtual breakout too, so encourage your colleagues to sign up!]
8:45-9pm: Raffle winner announcement, cleanup and see-ya-next-time.

Every attendee – online or in person – can choose to put their name forward into a prize draw to win a free ticket to the Second Annual State of Open Con taking place on 7-8 February, 2024, in central London. Just another reason not to miss this epic night!
