    Are Platform teams the next DevOps?

    Platform teams were defined in the seminal book Team Topologies (by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais) and are quickly becoming the new standard for teams working in Infrastructure. But what exactly are Platform teams? What does it mean to work on a Platform as a product? Talk + Discussion "Platform as a product" by Manuel Pais Savvy organizations are discovering the value of treating their internal platforms as products. But what does it mean to treat a "platform as a product"? What benefits does this give, and why would an organization adopt this approach?In this talk, Manuel Pais, co-author of the book Team Topologies, explains why the platform-as-product approach can be a game-changer for organizations building and running software-enabled products and services. Using ideas & patterns from Team Topologies - including Thinnest Viable Platform, team cognitive load, and the evolutionary team interaction modes - Manuel explains how organizations like Uswitch and Adidas have successfully used the platform-as-product model to accelerate and simplify the delivery of software at scale.

  2. DevOps/SRE Anti-patterns panel discussion (PT)

    DevOps/SRE Anti-patterns panel discussion (PT)

    In Portuguese Anti-patterns are solutions to problems that are, usually, ineffective and carry high risks. Although they might appear appropriate and effective, the gains tend to be short-term. Their consequences turn out to be more trouble than they’re worth. Like many practices, DevOps and SRE have their fair share of anti-patterns and it's tempting to adopt them. Projects might be under budget and time constraints or there might be there a lack of proper skills. When a quick and dirty fix is needed in an emergency, without any malicious intent, there is usually an intention to come back and do it properly, but time and priorities can interfere. In this panel discussion, our panelists will explore anti-patterns when trying to onboard DevOps/SRE practices into organizations.
