The good folks at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) published the KubeCon NA schedule last week, and we're super happy to announce that the Syntasso team will be co-presenting four talks at the event! We will also sponsor the PlatEngDay colocated event, so you can't miss us.
Check out more details about our talks below!
Creating Paved Paths for Platform Engineers
Our very own Abby Bangser joins Ritesh Patel from Nirmata, Viktor Farcic from Upbound, Nicholas Morey from Akuity, and Praseeda Sathaye from Amazon, on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, 5:25pm - 6:00pm MST.
This "Creating Paved Paths for Platform Engineers" panel session discusses these challenges by exploring the concept of 'Paved Paths' as a strategic approach to guide platform teams in their journey of building an internal developer platform (IDP). 'Paved Paths' offers a solution by providing platform engineering teams with proven reference architectures (e.g. CNOE and the BACK Stack). This approach prevents them from starting from scratch and getting lost in the vast CNCF landscape.
Applications, Platforms, and Infrastructure Oh My! What Is the TAG App Delivery Doing to Support You
Abby will also join the following folks for another panel on Thursday November 14, 2024 2:30pm - 3:05pm MST: Daniel Oh, Red Hat; Roberth Strand, Sopra Steria; Ryan Nowak, Microsoft.
TAG App Delivery focuses on how organizations can deliver cloud-native applications. To succeed, a number of hard questions need to be answered. This panel, "Applications, Platforms, and Infrastructure Oh My! What Is the TAG App Delivery Doing to Support You", will highlight how the TAG Working Groups, including App Development, Platform, Infrastructure, and Artifacts, are helping build a unified view of how to successfully deliver cloud-native applications at scale.
Platform Engineering in Financial Institutions: The Practitioner Panel
Our COO, Paula Kennedy, will be hosting a panel with these awesome people on Friday November 15, 2024 11:00am - 11:35am MST: Chris Plank, NatWest Bank; Suhail Patel, Monzo; Jinhong Brejnholt, Saxo Bank; Rachael Wonnacott, Fidelity International.
In the world of small and large financial institutions, platform engineering is a driver for shipping quickly, safely, and efficiently. This panel, "Platform Engineering in Financial Institutions: The Practitioner Panel", brings together seasoned practitioners from leading banks and financial institutions to share their firsthand platform experiences, successes, and challenges. Join us as we discuss the journey of adopting and deploying CNCF technologies at scale within the highly regulated financial sector. We’ll explore practical examples of both successes and incidents where things have gone wrong, providing the audience with valuable takeaways.
Platform Engineering for Software Developers and Architects
Join Daniel Bryant on Friday November 15, 2024 4:00pm - 4:35pm MST for "Platform Engineering for Software Developers and Architects".
Building on his KubeCon EU 2022 talk, "From Kubernetes to PaaS to... err, what's next," he'll introduce platform engineering through the lens of a software developer and architect. The primary goal of this talk is for developers to understand "what good looks like" with a successful platform build and help them understand how a platform can influence the SDLC (for better or worse!).
