Infrastructure & Ops Hour: Platform Engineering with Camille Fournier

Join us for a special conversation with Sam Newman and engineering leader Camille Fournier who’ll discuss why adding product management to software infrastructure, with a shift toward platform engineering, is all the rage today—and why it’s so hard to make it work. You’ll discover some of the ways an engineering culture must change to make this transformation a success, what it means to work for a captive internal audience, and how to build the “paved roads” that software engineers need.

This is a chance for you to hear from Sam and Camille about platform engineering, the relationship between product and engineers, or their own career journeys. They’ll spend a few minutes covering the trends that are influencing infrastructure, then tell you what you need to know to stay ahead of the curve.
