Probes from June 2024
Hello everyone! ???
Platform engineering—I am sure you have heard that word before. PE is one of the most widely discussed topics at conferences like KubeCon and other cloud-native conferences.
With platform engineering, internal developer platforms are also on the rise. So, building an IPD and the tooling to do that, including vCluster, has seen massive adoption.
Are you already using an IDP internally? Have you created a Platform team? Please let us know in the comments.?
Continuing the above conversation, we at Loft felt the need to share the benefits of Platform Engineering with our local communities. Therefore, we organized the first Platform Meetup in Bangalore, India. The event was a success, with 80 attendees and 400 RSVPs. If you want to learn more about the talks and activities at the event, check out this post.
Our team also participated in KCD Hyderabad, where we delivered two Keynotes. One was about the importance of Developer Experience, presented by Hrittik Roy , and the other was about Supply Chain Security, presented by Saiyam Pathak , who joined us recently. Additionally, we had the chance to sponsor Hack4Bengal , a hackathon in India, and we were thrilled to see fantastic participation in the DevPod track. Enjoy some pictures below!?
