I’m passionate about Cloud Native Computing technologies driven by Open Source, Cloud, Security, SRE, Containers, DevOps, Platform Engineering and Kubernetes. Based on my past experiences as software engineer, IT consultant, solution architect and customer success engineer, I now focus my work more and more on usability of products, driven by how I could improve the developers and end-users experience with docs, samples and products.
Session
Developers don’t code eight hours a day. They code one — and fight with TicketOps, Infrastructure dependencies and Security blockers the rest of the time. Many platform teams build Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) to help, but poor abstraction choices make things worse. In this talk, we’ll share a battle-tested approach to building the right level of abstraction on top of Kubernetes using Score and Kro.
You’ll learn how to go beyond templating, reduce cognitive load, and deliver a developer experience that people actually want to use. We’ll demo how developers can deploy secure, production-grade workloads by just focusing on their applications to bring value to their end users — while the platform handles the hard parts behind the scenes.
This talk isn’t about Kubernetes and GitOps. It’s about empathy. It’s about platforms people adopt, not abandon.
