PlatformCon 2024 Recap: Watch the Syntassians Speak!

The Syntasso team have enjoyed participating in PlatformCon London Live and the online event this week! We'll share more of our thoughts and takeaways, but for now, here is a list of our talk recordings from PlatformCon 2024.

Colin Humphreys has broken everything that can be broken on multiple occasions when it comes to platform engineering. Let's talk about how to avoid making the same mistakes.




Your Backstage needs a Platform

Platform Orchestrators: The Missing Middle of Internal Developer Platforms?
