What to expect

We have condensed our learnings from looking at 100s of platform engineering initiatives and working 1000s of hours with platform teams into this curriculum. It’s designed to align teams that might come from different backgrounds (e.g. DevOps, Infra & Ops, SRE, etc.) around the key concepts of platform engineering.

The format is 2 full day of lessons, going through all foundational knowledge and standards of platform engineering. From Platform as a Product, to Minimum Viable Platforms and reference architectures, we will deep dive into all the essential tools your platform team needs to master.
