You Can Score It! Shift Down to the Platform. Do Not Shift Left to the Developers.
11-11, 17:50–17:55 (MST), Theater

Developer Experience (DevX) is a key concept in Platform Engineering and in the cloud native ecosystem. Its primary goal is to empower developers, allowing them to focus on their code and generate business value rather than dealing with Kubernetes and infrastructure complexities.

Thanks to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) standard, the rise of cloud native runtimes has revolutionized how teams build and deploy applications. Developers leverage the same containerized approach from their local development workflows to remote environments. But this still exposes some inherent complexities. What is the right level of abstraction? How to reduce the cognitive load? How to shift down to the platform rather than shift left to the developers?

Let’s see in action how we answer these questions with Score, an open-source workload specification that enables developers to deploy their workloads across a spectrum of runtime platforms like Docker Compose, Kubernetes and more.

Customer Success Engineer at Humanitec and CNCF Ambassador, 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 and solution architect, 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.
