Business analysts and domain experts are building applications with AI and they expect the same infrastructure, security, and governance that professional developers get. Kaspar von Grünberg and SIXT CTO Boyan Dimitrov discuss what platform teams need to build to enable enterprise citizen developers without creating a compliance nightmare.
- Understand who enterprise citizen developers are, how "vibe coding" with AI differs from traditional low-code, and why this new user persona changes the scope of platform engineering.
- Learn the technical mechanisms (golden paths, Policy-as-Code, automated guardrails, secure execution environments) that let platform teams enable thousands of non-technical builders safely at scale.
- Hear how SIXT is thinking about the shift from platforms built for developers to platforms built for developers, agents, and business users, and what that means for platform team structure and priorities.
