Session
At growing companies, developers move faster than process. If your platform can’t keep up, they’ll route around it.
Guardrails aren’t stop signs, they’re lane assist. In this talk, we’ll explore how internal platforms can scale developer self-service safely using policy guardrails. We’ll cover how to design policy-driven automation that adapts to business needs, building secure, cost-aware, and flexible delivery paths that scale. We'll show how to build internal developer platforms that earn trust, reduce toil, and become the easiest path to production.
