CONFERENCE DAY ONE - Wednesday 22nd October

4:00 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: Platform Engineering Strategies That Drive Developer Adoption

Developer adoption isn’t automatic-no matter how powerful your platform is. The most successful platform engineering teams treat developers as customers, designing clear, intuitive “paved roads” that streamline common workflows while supporting broader innovation. This session focuses on how to define, build, and continuously evolve those pathways to drive real adoption and trust.

  • Identifying and mapping developer journeys to eliminate friction and redundant decision-making.
  • Tactics for aligning paved roads with both infrastructure and application team needs.
  • Enabling self-service without sacrificing quality, reliability, or observability.
  • Establishing feedback mechanisms to refine and expand paved road offerings over time.
