I spoke Wednesday at #OpenSourceNorth on #OpenSource and #Cloud - It just makes sense. The topic covered some fun history including #Docker Swarm, #Kubernetes, Java, #CoreOS then focused on ways to save, RIs, SUDs and CUDs, Cloud Budgets to #PagerDuty, Free Costing tools and more. Here is the talk plus those I gave at OSN 2022 and 2021 on GitOps and AzDO CICD. https://freshbrewed.science/2023/05/26/OSN-Talks.html
OSN 2023: Open Source and Cloud - It Just Makes Sense

I was honored to speak at Open Source North this year. I have nothing but love for the conference. However, my talk was scheduled right after lunch in one of the farthest away rooms and arguably there were some amazing choices for that hour. Thus, not many were there to see the presentation.

Are we there yet? Building an internal development platform

“We’ll get there.” The words you say to the preverbal “Are we there yet?” Building an internal development platform is not so much of a choice as it is an eventuality. The only question is are you intentionally building one or not? Undifferentiating engineering is a requirement for all software companies, not everything you do will set you apart from your competitors and generate value directly for your customers. The question is how do you do exactly the right amount of undifferentiating engineering to create the most value for your customers? In this talk I will discuss a decade of hard lessons I’ve learned about building internal development platforms, most recently with the Interstate Platform at Total Expert. What are the pitfalls, the fun part, the hard part, and the really really hard part that you should focus on if you want to have a successful IDP program at your company?
