Webinar: Build faster, Scale smarter with Platform Engineering

In this webinar, we'll dive into how fast-growing startups can use platform engineering on AWS to overcome the challenges of scaling up. As startups grow, they often face a sharp drop in productivity, increased technical debt, and more complex communication. We'll show you how creating a centralized platform layer can empower your development teams with self-service tools and standardized "golden paths" for deployment. This approach helps boost efficiency, improve security, and ensure compliance without creating a bottleneck with a single DevOps team.

Who should attend

This session is tailored for:

  • Startup founders and CTOs who are planning for or currently experiencing rapid growth.
  • Engineering managers and team leads looking for ways to improve team productivity and reduce technical debt.
  • DevOps and Cloud engineers interested in learning how to create internal platforms that empower developers.
  • Software engineers who want to understand how platform engineering can improve their daily workflow and deployment process.
  • Anyone working in a high-growth environment who wants to build and scale more efficiently on AWS.

‍

Key takeaways

  • Platform engineering is the next evolution of DevOps. It helps organizations empower developers to build, deploy, and operate cloud-native applications independently, without relying on a central DevOps or infrastructure team.
  • Scaling teams introduces complexity and technical debt. Rapid growth from a small, agile team to a larger one often leads to a drop in productivity, increased technical debt, and communication overhead.
  • Standardization is key to efficiency and security. By creating reusable templates and "golden paths," platform engineering ensures that all deployments meet best practices for security, observability, and compliance from the start.
  • It shifts the focus from time-to-market to reliability and security. While startups prioritize speed, scale-ups need to focus on reliability, scalability, security, and cost. Platform engineering provides the framework to address these new priorities.
  • It creates a better developer experience. Instead of waiting for a DevOps team to build resources, developers can use a self-service model to quickly and confidently deploy their applications, allowing them to focus on what they do best: building features.
