Codify All the Things: The Future of Platform Engineering
2024-05-03 , Connally Ballroom

Platform teams don't just enable the 10x developer -- they enable the 10x team. Innovative teams at companies like Netflix bring a platform mindset not just to infrastructure, but to the entire stack. From infrastructure provisioned with Terraform to the microcopy shipped with a headless CMS, teams are streamlining software delivery with platforms that provide better integration, composability, self-service, and reuse. Learn about some of the tools and best practices that highly effective platform teams use to better collaborate and ship features faster.

Michelle Greer has helped engineering teams improve their productivity for over a decade. At Heroku, she edited "The Twelve Factor App," which outlines best practices for distributed systems. She also worked to understand the pain points of platform teams as an early Product Marketing hire for HashiCorp, where she managed the Terraform ecosystem. She is now applying these learnings at the API layer as the Product Marketing lead at Apollo GraphQL.
