5 biggest Platform Manager fuckups

Building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is easy, right? You just deploy Backstage, use a Platform Orchestrator, automate DevSecOps tools. And voila, that’s it and your developers are happy. Well… not quite. Because I thought like this, I made five huge mistakes which I want to share. None of them are technical, and each hurts even more than a lack of automation.

Krzysztof (Kris) will discuss his broader perspective of building and managing an Internal Developer Platform (IDP). During this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Building a platform is not a technical project, you can perfect a DevSecOps toolset with full automation and still fail.
• Software delivery and operations is yet another business domain your company has, so perform your business analysis before you build an IDP
• Why and how to sell the platform idea to the right people.

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