Sponsored by Cockroach Labs
AI is fundamentally transforming platform engineering—platform teams must now support entirely new workloads with unique infrastructure needs, unpredictable costs, and novel security concerns, while developers increasingly expect AI capabilities to be as accessible as traditional cloud services.
Join Sam Newman and a panel of experts as they discuss how platform engineers can evolve their IDPs to meet these demands without becoming bottlenecks to AI innovation. You’ll pick up practical strategies for making AI development accessible across your organizations while maintaining the operational excellence, security, and cost control that platform engineering promises.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it
- How to keep your organization running smoothly without slowing your teams down
- Understand what good looks like with a successful platform build
- The influence platforms and AI are having on the SDLC
Recommended follow-up:
- Read Platform Engineering (book)
- Take Agentic AI in Platform Engineering (live online course with Ajay Chankramath)
