Hashicorp & Humanitec - architecting an Internal Developer Platform

Hashicorp’s products like Terraform, Vault, Consul or Packer are at the core of lots of Internal Developer Platforms in teams across the world. But how do you actually design platforms that scale, drive standardization by design and bind this into a delightful developer experience? During this talk Michael (Hashicorp) and Chris (Humanitec) will explain how to build an Internal Developer Platform using Humanitec and the Hashicorp Cloud Platform (HCP). They will cover:

• How to architect platforms that scale
• How to drive standardization by design
• How to craft a delightful developer experience

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.
