What is the right level of abstraction for your platform?

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are one of the hot new trends in DevOps and platform engineering. Many teams are jumping on the hype train, often without taking the time to agree on key design principles.

One of the most debated questions is what is the right level of abstraction for your engineering team’s delivery workflows.

In this webinar, Jon will cover:

• Challenges, design goals and how to deal with them

• What worked when building an Internal Developer Platform at Signicat

• Mistakes they made, how they tackled them and how you can avoid them

After a 30 minutes talk, there will be 15 minutes for Q&A. We’d like to encourage you to submit your questions in advance.
