Abby's framing is simple: every major shift in software delivery raises the bar. Cloud sped up provisioning. DevOps reshaped ways of working. Kubernetes changed architecture. Now, AI is changing what internal platforms must enable, and it is happening at a pace most organisations are not structurally ready for. 

We’re heading to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU 2026, and we’ve got an exciting lineup of talks, panels, demos, games, and (of course) swag you won’t want to miss. Stop by for platform engineering chats, live demos of Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE), prizes, and a copy of our new O’Reilly report.

Stéphane Di Cesare and Cat Morris’ talk at KubeCon EU 2025 in London tackles a challenge most platform teams recognise immediately: platform engineering creates enormous value, but it is often difficult to prove that value in a way the business understands. The reason is simple. Much of the work is invisible.
