KubeDay Australia 2024

Explore how domain-driven platform engineering revolutionizes cloud native platforms across various business sectors including BFSI, HCLS, Retail, Public Sector, Automotive, and Manufacturing. This session delves into the core principles of building and customizing platforms tailored to specific industry needs, automating infrastructure operations, and improving self-service workflows for developers. Attendees will gain insights into integrating domain-specific requirements with cloud native technologies, extending platform functionalities to meet unique business challenges, and accelerating software delivery through optimized toolchains and workflows. Learn how domain-driven design principles enable platform engineers, DevOps professionals, and developers to create resilient, scalable, and efficient platforms that drive business innovation and operational excellence.

Infrastructure teams all across the world now are racing to implement platform engineering, either building their own in-house custom solutions which mostly will equate it to Internal Developer Portal or using off-the-shelves solution from third-party vendor. But is Platform Engineering really equal to Internal Developer Portal? Does it actually bring benefits to not only the product engineers but the infrastructure team as well? How is it different to DevOps? And SRE? And most importantly, what are the common traps of implementing platform engineering? Through the experience of the past few years building and operating a platform for ~700 engineers, the talk will guide on what kind of things that we wish we would've done better to start so you won't have to go through the same mistakes on your platform team.

Backstage is a powerful developer platform, but what if it could do even more? Imagine automating routine tasks, generating code on the fly, and finding answers faster—all within Backstage. This talk dives into how you can leverage large language models like ChatGPT to supercharge developer productivity. You’ll discover how to: 1. Integrate ChatGPT into Backstage using off-the-shelf open-source components. 2. Seamlessly switch between different large language models to suit your needs. 3. Craft prompts that elicit better, more useful responses from the LLM. Join us to see how the latest AI capabilities can transform Backstage, making your development process more efficient and innovative.
