Platform Engineering Santiago (Chile)

Platform Engineering revolves around finding the most suitable abstraction for the complex challenges encountered during the development process. With Crossplane, you can establish one such abstraction layer for cloud infrastructure and application deployment across multiple providers. It is built on the stable Kubernetes API, known for its reliability over recent years.

This webinar will illustrate how to structure your processes using Crossplane compositions, fostering a cohesive approach where Developers and the Platform Team share clear responsibilities. Moreover, we will explore the integration of Crossplane with GitOps Tooling like ArgoCD, enabling a comprehensive full end-to-end GitOps approach to eradicate configuration drift and streamline your deployments.

The webinar will demonstrate:

• How to structure the workflow using Crossplane compositions. We show you how to achieve a state of shared responsibility between developers and the Platform Team, enabling collaboration and efficient resource management.
• The integration of Crossplane with GitOps tooling like ArgoCD. Attendees will be introduced to the concept of full end-to-end GitOps, which eliminates configuration drift in deployments and ensures a seamless, automated workflows for developers.
• An example on how to effectively implement Crossplane in their platform engineering strategy, optimize resource management, and leverage full end-to-end GitOps for streamlined deployment processes.

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.

Many organizations mistakenly assume that simply integrating Backstage into their infrastructure creates a complete Internal Developer Platform. While it provides a convenient starting point, Backstage alone isn’t sufficient to unlock the full potential of platform engineering. True platform engineering goes beyond just the frontend (Backstage); it also requires a robust and effective platform backend.

In this webinar, you'll discover the importance of having both a frontend and backend for your platform. Kaspar will demonstrate how to integrate open-source interfaces like Score and Backstage with a Platform Orchestrator, such as Humanitec, to build a powerful, enterprise-grade Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

We’ll cover:

• How to combine Backstage as the platform frontend with a Platform Orchestrator as the backend to create a developer-friendly platform
• Using IDP reference architectures as blueprints for enterprise solutions
• A live demo highlighting the developer experience on a fully-featured platform
