Platforms at Walmart: the key to engineering productivity

Bryan Finster is a real platform veteran. He’s the founder and former lead of the Walmart DevOps Dojo, author of the 5 Minutes DevOps blog, and contributor to the book Modern Cybersecurity.
After his great talk at PlatformCon on how to build an effective delivery platform, we’re looking forward to diving deeper into this conversation.

We will chat about:

• Why internal platforms are a keystone of transformation

• How platforms can make or break organizational improvement efforts

• How a well-designed platform can enable developer freedom with enterprise guardrails

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.
