DevOps, 12-factor, and platform engineering

In this keynote-style session, attendees will learn about the roots of DevOps in the theory of constraints, how 12-factor principles can guide microservice and cloud migration refactor efforts, and how an optimal strategy for using internal developer portals can tie these concepts together. The talk closes by examining the future of DevOps and how platform engineering is evolving to address the next set of bottlenecks hidden within the developer experience. Justin Reock, deputy CTO of DX, takes participants on a fast-paced tour of modern DevOps and its origins, ensuring they no longer have to say, “There are lots of definitions of DevOps.” Learn more: https://platformcon.com/sessions/devops-12-factor-and-platform-engineering
