Pulse check: Platform engineering research - Steve Fenton & Matt Allford | PlatformCon 2026
Platform Engineering is having a moment, but are platforms actually delivering? Steve Fenton and Matt Allford dig into the data from the Platform Engineering Pulse report to separate the signal from the hype and show you what sets the high performers apart from the lackluster losers. The research paints a picture of platforms built with the best intentions that often lose sight of the people they're supposed to serve. We'll share the insights and let you know what to do to switch from fail to fab. Learn more about this session: https://platformcon.com/sessions/puls...
