Engineering Platforms for Engineers who Engineer Platforms
summary
Live 90‑minute workshop builds a working platform stack (PowerShell, Kubernetes, Azure, CI/CD, observability, secrets, Backstage/IDP) and delivers code plus decision canvases; example outcomes: deploy a change to production in under 10 minutes as a measurable mission vs a vague “standardized Kubernetes platform”; two case studies — a six‑engineer two‑year Kubernetes effort that nobody uses and a Gold Path team that raises adoption and cuts tickets; focus on primitives, capability contracts, value KPIs and whether the platform actually reduces friction.
