8 Factor Producers to Scale Platform Engineering in an AI-First world with Abby Bangser
In 2011 Heroku defined the 12 factor app to remove emerging bottlenecks as developers tried to scale their output when they moved from building monoliths to microservices. In Platform Engineer we see a repeating pattern called the "8 Factor Platform Producers". AI allows engineering teams to speed up but they face bottlenecks as platform capabilities are not scaling with that demand as they are often depending on a central platform engineering team to be built and maintained. To learn more about 8 Factor Platform Producers we invited Abby Bangser, Founding Principal Engineer at Syntasso and CNCF Ambassador. She gave an amazing talk at KubeCon in Amsterdam and today walks us through the need of defining both consumers and producers for platforms to eliminate any emerging bottlenecks in Platform Engineering and allow an organization to reap the benefit of speeding up with AI Links we discussed: Abby's LinkedIn: / abbybangser Abby's Kubecon Keynote: • Keynote: From Cloud-Native Apps to Cloud-N... 12 Factor Apps: https://12factor.net/ CNCF Whitepaper: https://cloudnativeplatforms.com/whit...
