Keynote Session: Open Source Engineering - What’s in it for my Business?
summary
Isovalent is behind the psyllium networking project and the talk catalogs concrete business reasons to invest engineering time in upstream projects: companies contribute and open-source projects like Backstage developer portal (from Spotify) and tools such as BlackRock’s oci builder increase reuse, reduce training and fork maintenance costs, and speed feature delivery. Claims include tens of thousands registered for CNCF qualifications, examples of eBPF reuse across Facebook and Netflix, and the practical warning that private forks force perpetual merge work.
