Platform Engineers São Paulo

As cloud-native systems grow in complexity, developers are increasingly expected to manage far more than application logic—CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, Kubernetes runtime settings, security controls, and cost considerations. This expanding scope creates cognitive overload, slows delivery, and increases the risk of inconsistency and misconfiguration across teams.

This session explores how platform engineering can be used to systematically reduce developer cognitive load while maintaining control, governance, and scalability. It examines architectural patterns that centralize delivery concerns behind well-defined abstractions, allowing developers to focus on building software while platforms handle consistency, security, and operational correctness.

In this webinar, we will cover:

- How to simplify the developer workflow by removing the need to manage CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and Kubernetes runtime details for every service.
- How to give developers fast, actionable feedback through early validation of security, configuration, and resource usage, reducing friction and rework.
- How to build platforms developers actually want to use, balancing abstraction and flexibility while maintaining consistency across teams and environments.

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.

Modern applications aren’t just “lift-and-shift” workloads running in Kubernetes. They’re built on a set of principles that span architecture, delivery, operations, and platform readiness. In this webinar, we’ll break down each of these principles and connect them to concrete examples.

- Recognize and apply the 5 core principles of modern applications across design, delivery, and operations.
- Learn how GitOps, observability, and zero-trust security fit together into a coherent operating model.
- See an example of these principles in practice.

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

Join Loreli Cadapan and Ajay Chankramath as they break down the unexpected consequences teams face during platform and tooling migrations, why modernization efforts often create more complexity, not less, and what platform teams can do to better protect developer experience, security, and operational efficiency.

In this webinar, we will cover:

- Why migrations frequently lead to increased tool sprawl, integration friction, and new security gaps
- The human cost of modernization, including burnout and organizational drag
- Patterns that separate successful modernization efforts from disruptive ones
- Practical strategies platform teams can use to reduce migration risk and improve long-term resilience

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

The majority of platform teams are struggling with bad alignment, missing success metrics & ROI proof, or low adoption / weak developer experience, and more. Join Mallory Haigh for a practical walkthrough of the Platform Benchmarking Survey to help understand that pain, and how to avoid it. She will reveal your platform’s friction and maturity, and how to turn “pain” into a clear, prioritized roadmap for adoption, alignment, and measurable impact.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• How platform benchmarking helps quantify misalignment, silos, and invisible friction
• Why lack of success metrics and ROI proof keeps platform teams stuck
• How to turn platform pain into a clear, aligned roadmap for impact

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.

Disclaimer: We use Zoom for the webinar stream. The link to the webinar will be sent upon your registration to your email.
