Platform Engineers Berlin

Join us for an in-depth session led by Abdellfetah Sghiouar, introducing the newly launched Kubernetes Resource Orchestrator (KRO), an open-source project designed to simplify application and infrastructure deployment and management in Kubernetes. Learn how KRO enables platform teams to create high-level APIs, reducing YAML complexity while maintaining flexibility.

Abdel will explain how KRO supports native Kubernetes and cloud-specific resources, making infrastructure and application orchestration more efficient.

In this webinar, we will:

• Learn how KRO enables platform teams to create high-level APIs by abstracting complex Kubernetes configurations, reducing YAML sprawl, and simplifying application and infrastructure management.
• Explore how KRO supports native Kubernetes and cloud-specific resources, allowing developers to manage deployments efficiently across different environments.
• Dive into practical examples and strategies to integrate KRO into your Kubernetes workflows for greater scalability and ease of use.

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

A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.

He is passionate about culture and digital transformation and has been involved in several projects from both the human (Leadership, Coaching, Mentoring) and technical (Cloud, DevOps, AI) perspective.

Platform engineering has emerged as a solution to the increasing complexity of cloud-native environments and the difficulties enterprises face in scaling DevOps.

Participate in our executive roundtable focused on platform engineering initiatives, best practices, and discussions on effective development of an enterprise-grade Internal Developer Platform.

​We’re gathering a select group of practitioners from companies like Bechtle, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, and others to discuss the latest trends in cloud-native development and strategies for successfully implementing platform engineering. No presentations or product demos—just an open exchange of experiences, both positive and challenging.

​​During this roundtable, we’ll discuss:

• ​​How to use blueprints distilled from looking at 100s of platform setups to design your Internal Developer Platform to be truly enterprise ready
• ​How to leverage a Minimum Viable Platform framework to kickstart your initiative and show value quickly to all internal stakeholders
• ​​What is the impact of platform engineering done right on your time to market

Kaspar von Grünberg, CEO at Humanitec
Kaspar is an early pioneer in platform engineering. Over the last decade he has been building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) at scale, and is responsible for coining the term IDP. A regular speaker on the topic of platform engineering, Kaspar is the author of several associated defining articles. He is also the founder and CEO of Humanitec, the company behind Score and the Platform Orchestrator which is now the centerpiece at the majority of dynamic IDPs.

Join us to see how Coder and DX work together to make developers' lives easier. We'll show you how cloud environments and smart metrics can fix those frustrating "it works on my machine" problems, get new team members up to speed faster, and give you clear insights into what's actually working. Learn how better developer tools translate to business results.

Find out how cloud development environments can end those environment headaches once and for all. We'll show you how to cut onboarding time from weeks to hours/minutes and give everyone on your team a consistent, reliable setup.

Get practical ways to measure what actually matters in developer experience. We'll break down how to use metrics that make sense and show you how to connect smoother developer workflows to business value, your leadership will care about.

Walk away with a simple, effective process that combines Coder's consistent developer environments with DX's measurement tools to create a feedback loop of constant improvement, making developers happier and more productive over time.

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.
