The Magic of Backing Service Provisioning and Consumption With Crossplane and ServiceBindings
03-17, 17:10–17:40 (Europe/Paris), VIP Area

As the amount of cloud-native applications continues to rise, there is an unprecedented surge in the demand for backing services, amplifying the need for automated provisioning.

We will embark on a journey to demystify the complexity of managing and connecting backing services.
Crossplane, a multi-cloud control plane, will take center stage as we explore its capabilities to automate the provisioning of backing services and expose simple, abstracted interfaces for developers to claim those.
The second component in this magical symphony are ServiceBindings that enable the automated supply of the required information for the connections between applications and their required backing services in a consistent way.

This session is your compass to navigate the enchantment of effortless backing service provisioning and consumption and will illustrate how this dynamic duo enhances developer productivity, reduces operational overhead, and facilitates the seamless deployment of applications.
