Platform Engineering with Camille Fournier and Ian Nowland



I’d like to invite you to a free live event with Camille Fournier and Ian Nowland, coauthors of the O’Reilly book Platform Engineering. It’s a great chance to chat with experts about platform engineering and learn why it’s a game changer for organizations.

 

For the past 25 years, software organizations have grappled with a persistent challenge: how to manage code, tools, and infrastructure that is shared across multiple teams. Centralized teams often fall short, offering clunky systems, ignoring user needs, and failing to deliver stability and reliability. Small teams experience a different set of challenges, frequently drowning in complexity. The few that have cracked the code embrace a different approach—platform engineering—to create robust, user-friendly platforms.

 

Join us for a conversation on platform engineering with Camille Fournier and Ian Nowland, coauthors of the O’Reilly book Platform Engineering, and Eric Ledyard, VP of enterprise architecture at Coder. They’ll discuss what platform engineering is (and isn’t), the benefits and value it brings to developers and teams, and the shifts your organization needs to make to truly become a platform-led organization.

 

Ask questions, learn tricks of the trade, listen to stories, and connect with other readers.
