So... in our organisation we've been busy trying to bridge the gap between Dev and Ops. And we've been moving towards an almost completely automated Infrastructure enablement. We thought we were doing so well. And then... it turned out that even without human intervention, IT infrastructure is secretly still about human interaction. I will tell you our real life story of how we hit rock bottom Developer Experience because as enablement teams we were so focused on IaC and automating everything…

In this constantly changing world, we face new challenges: rapidly changing customer needs, increasing competition, and a shortage of skilled workers. Agility and speed are essential. Adopting Platform Engineering can be key, providing the flexibility and scalability to adapt swiftly, outpace competitors, and bridge the skills gap through automation and optimization.

I will demonstrate, using a real Platform, how Platform Engineering can help companies overcome hurdles and scale issues with…

There is a clear trend: ICT is responsible for more and more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: it has already reached an estimated level of 4% of global GHG emissions, which is comparable to the entire aviation sector, and ICT energy consumption is growing at an estimated rate of ca. 9% per year. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce these negative effects. One of these ways is DevGreenOps. It is an extension of the DevOps approach to software development. DevGreenOps takes additional inspiration…

Let’s be honest, the tech we have today is amazing but it can also be complex. So, it’s only natural that the platforms we build want to hide that complexity to improve productivity, avoid mistakes, and reduce cognitive load. So, the more complexity we can hide, the better our platform? Actually no - we need to be careful that we create useful abstractions, not dangerous illusions. This talk reflects on two decades of building complex distributed systems, highlighting where abstractions helped…

GAIA-X is a strategic initiative of the European Union in order to support secure and trustworthy dataspaces. But what does it mean to set up a GAIA-X compliant data space, polished powerpoint aside?
In this presentation we will report about our experiences learned from almost three years' work in one of the GAIA-X lighthouse projects "COOPERANTS". COOPERANTS is the world’s only collaborative alliance of industry, SMEs and research institutes in the Aeronautics and space sector that solves…

In der dynamischen Welt der Softwareentwicklung ist eine effiziente interne Entwicklungsplattform der Schlüssel zum Erfolg, denn sie steigert die Effizienz der Entwickler durch einen schnelleren Weg zum Produktionsbetrieb und standardisiert Sicherheit und Compliance für alle Anwendungen innerhalb eines Unternehmens.

Dieser Vortrag stellt das CNCF Reifemodell für Platform Engineering vor um interne Entwicklungsplattformen an den Anforderungen des Businesses und der Organisation zu optimieren. Das…

In den letzten 2 Jahren haben cloud-basierte Entwicklungsumgebungen wie Gitpod oder GitHub Codespaces stark an Popularität gewonnen. Mit Devpod kam vor kurzem eine neue Open Source Technologie in diesem Feld dazu und es ist sehr wahrscheinlich, daß es in naher Zukunft noch weitere Neuerscheinungen geben wird.

Mit diesem Vortrag vergleiche ich den Ansatz dieser Technologien im Vergleich zu traditionellen IDEs und versuche die Rolle der Container Technologie - insbesonders der devcontainer…
