What are we using for pipelines? Which infrastructure do we support? Is service mesh enabled?'. These types of questions - revolving on tech choices and implementation - currently occupy most of the conversations around platform engineering. According to most evidence, though, these are not the only things that make a cloud-native platform successful: cultural change, communication and collaboration, reorganized processes, shared vision and roadmap - among others - play a key role in determining the success of platform transformation. If we don’t address change comprehensively, the risk is that in a few years we’ll discover that platforms are not bringing the results we expected. In this talk we’ll see some key aspects that are often overlooked in implementing a platform and how it’s possible to address them along the way. We’ll also share some of the pitfalls and lessons we learned in our experience, supporting large and small organizations in building their cloud-native platforms.

I loved the self checkout similarity, and your personal point of view from a very different personal background

Interessante, coinvolgente. Un po' troppo veloce come ritmo

Hard pills to shallow! Maybe you can reduce the talk speed

Super interessante. Ottima presentazione e tanti spunti interessanti!

Fun but deep philosofical talk on platform and their adoption. To be shared with as many people as we can

Tema molto interessante e speaker bravissima: buon ritmo, coinvolgente spigliata

Arguments were really nothing new, but someone has to do the hard job of explaining why also this time is not different. Good job!

Absolutely great talk, a not-standard view of a technical evolution offered from a not-technical but with an in deep knowledge. Useful, loved to be there listening.
Thanks for your sharing.

Yes, it's not about tech, indeed!
Before we need a top-down sponsorship in change management projects inside the company, then we can resonate about technology, methods and tooling.
Great speech and great speaker.
