Platform Engineering 2025: What “great”’ looks like now

Nicki Watt, Cornelia Davis and Rickey Zachary trace the leap from ad-hoc DevOps scripts to “Platform as a Product” mindset. They’ll dissect 2025’s checklist: discoverable golden paths, GitOps/IaC you can trust, seamless AI/ML workloads deployment, and realistic use cases of AI for supercharging platform engineering teams, but also their “customers”, developers. Just as crucial: the human layer. Hear blunt stories about securing C-suite sponsorship, converting sceptical teams, measuring developer experience, and keeping platform crews from devolving into ticket factories. The debate will equip you with talking points for the rest of the PlatformCon LDN Live Day. Learn more: https://platformcon.com/sessions/platform-engineering-2025-what-great-looks-like-now
