DevOpsCon

⏱️ 10 minutes saved for a developer. 🚀 Millions of hours saved for the industry. There are around 28 million developers worldwide. 🌍 Even small improvements in Developer Experience (DevEx) can create a massive global impact. 💥 In the video, @RussellMiles shares a powerful thought about DevEx: if we reduce just a few minutes of developer toil, the impact scales across millions of developers. 📈 At DevOpsCon, his bootcamp explores how platform engineering can improve developer workflows and create real value for organizations. 🏗️ What you’ll learn in this bootcamp: 🧠 Understanding platform ecosystems and developer needs 🗺️ Mapping value streams and identifying delivery bottlenecks 🎨 Designing Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) 📦 Platform-as-product thinking and developer experience 🛣️ Building roadmaps for impactful platform improvements If you’re working with DevOps, platform engineering, or developer experience, this is a bootcamp you shouldn’t miss! 🎫 📍 Berlin | 📅 18-19.06.26 🔗 devopscon.io/berlin/platfor… #DevOpsCon #PlatformEngineering #DevEx #DeveloperExperience #DevOps #Bootcamp #Berlin 🇩🇪

API-first + Platform Engineering: a better way to modernize legacy systems? 🚀🏗️ Instead of risky full rewrites, many teams are modernizing legacy systems with an API-first approach—treating APIs as contracts 📜 that enable decoupled services, parallel development, and scalable platforms. 🌐⚡ In this article, Derek Ashmore explains how Platform Engineering and API-first design help organizations evolve complex systems step by step. 🪜🛠️ Key takeaways for developers: 🔧 API-first architecture enables modular, scalable systems ⚙️ Platform Engineering reduces operational complexity for teams 🚀 Internal developer platforms & automation improve developer productivity A valuable read for developers working with microservices, DevOps, and cloud-native architectures. 💻☁️ 🔗 devm.io/api/api-first-… #PlatformEngineering 🏗️ #APIFirst 🔌 #DevOps ♾️ #SoftwareArchitecture 🏛️ #CloudNative ☁️

🛡️ Attackers always look for the lowest hanging fruit. In the interview, Christian Schneider highlights an important security reality: attackers are often looking for the easiest way in. 🔓 Exploiting known vulnerabilities is usually the fastest and simplest path. 🚀 That’s why patching and updating systems is the first step to avoid becoming an easy target. 🎯 But security doesn’t stop there. Organizations also need stronger architectural security practices, better detection capabilities, and approaches like Zero Trust to reduce the blast radius if something happens. 💥 In the “Secure Your GitHub Pipeline – Integrating Open Source Security Checks” workshop at DevOpsCon, Christian Schneider shows how to integrate security checks directly into your CI/CD pipeline using powerful open-source tools. 🛠️ What you’ll gain from this workshop: ⚙️ Security automation in modern CI/CD pipelines 🔧 Integrating open-source security tools into GitHub workflows 🔍 Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to detect vulnerabilities early 📦 Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to identify insecure dependencies 🔑 Secret leak detection to prevent credential exposure ✅ Best practices for integrating security into your DevSecOps workflow This is your chance to learn from one of the leading DevSecOps experts. 👨‍💻 📍 Berlin | 📅 15.06.26 | 🕘 9:00 – 17:00 🔗 devopscon.io/devsecops/gith… #DevOpsCon #DevSecOps #CICD #AppSec #GitHub #SecurityAutomation

What can a Formula 1 pit crew teach us about DevOps? 🏎️💨 In F1, milliseconds make the difference between a podium finish and a DNF. The secret isn't just speed—it’s Observability. Just like a race car, our software systems produce massive amounts of data, but the goal isn't "more data"—it's actionable intelligence. This article from devmio explores how to cut through the noise and put your observability into overdrive. Stop just monitoring. Start winning. 🏁 Read the full story: devm.io/programming/ob… #DevOpsCon #DevOps #Observability #SiteReliabilityEngineering #F1 #SoftwareEngineering #CloudNative #TechPerformance

Too Much DevOps in Your Workflow? Platform engineering usually becomes relevant when DevOps starts to feel heavy. As organizations scale, DevOps practices become harder to apply consistently across teams and toolchains. Cognitive load increases. Operational complexity grows. This free whitepaper explains:  • Why DevOps often breaks down at scale  • When platform engineering becomes necessary  • How internal developer platforms reduce friction  • Whether investing in platform engineering skills makes sense for you If you're evaluating platform engineering—or wondering whether it’s worth learning—start here. devopscon.io/whitepaper/cor… #PlatformEngineering #DevOpsAtScale #DeveloperExperience #InternalDeveloperPlatform #EngineeringLeadership #Devopscon #berlin #london #sandiego #NY

Kubernetes isn’t “just Kubernetes” anymore — it’s a series of decisions that shape reliability, security, and developer experience for years. In DevOps Magazine – Volume 14: Kubernetes Decisions, we look at the practical choices teams keep running into, like: Platform scope: what to standardize vs. what to leave flexible Operational model: who owns clusters, upgrades, and guardrails Day-2 readiness: observability, policy, and cost from the start If you’re building (or rebuilding) your platform strategy, this one’s a useful checkpoint. 👉 Read here: devm.io/reader/reading… #DevOpsCon #devopscon #Kubernetes #CloudNative #PlatformEngineering #DevOps #SRE #DevSecOps #CI_CD #Observability #InfrastructureAsCode #GitOps

🚀 Is Platform Engineering Losing Its Purpose in the Cloud-Native Era? In this article, Sarah Saunders explores how Platform Engineering is evolving as cloud-native architectures reshape the development landscape. Platform Engineering was created to manage complexity — building Internal #Developer Platforms, automating environments, and enabling self-service delivery. But today, managed #Kubernetes, serverless services, Infrastructure as Code templates, and built-in cloud tooling are shifting traditional responsibilities toward hyperscalers. The article highlights: ☁️ How cloud-native reduces traditional infrastructure overhead ⚙️ Why the Dev vs. Ops divide risks becoming Dev vs. Platform 🔐 New security and governance challenges in public cloud 🧠 Why cognitive overload still makes platform teams essential 🎯 The shift from infrastructure control to a customer-focused mindset 📊 How developer experience impacts performance (DORA insights) 💰 Why investing in platform UX drives retention and business value The future of #PlatformEngineering isn’t about controlling infrastructure — it’s about enabling developers through self-service, usability, and collaboration. 👉 Read the full article here: 🔗 devm.io/devops/platfor… #CloudNative #DevOps #InternalDeveloperPlatform #DORA #Agile #CloudSecurity #Devopscon

Observability Is Not What You Think. In this article, Torsten Bøgh Köster challenges one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern IT. Observability isn’t something you install 🛠️ — it’s something you design for 🧠. Rooted in control theory 📚, observability means being able to infer a system’s internal state from its external outputs. And that’s exactly why traditional monitoring assumptions collapse in distributed systems ⚡. Real observability requires raw, high-cardinality data 📡, meaningful correlation 🔎, and a cultural shift in how teams build and operate software. 💡 What you’ll take away 💡 🚨 Why monitoring ≠ observability 📚 Where observability actually comes from — and why its roots matter 🧩 Why distributed systems break traditional monitoring assumptions 📡 Why raw data beats aggregated dashboards 🪵 The three pillars: logs, metrics & traces ⏱️ How observability reduces MTTR 🧠 Why this is a mindset and organizational shift — not just a tooling upgrade Less guessing ❌ Less blaming ❌ More understanding ✅ If your dashboards look green — but production is still burning 🔥 This article is for you.
