Platform Engineering to Achieve Quality with Speed
About Topic
Modern engineering teams are expected to deliver fast without letting reliability slip. This talk explores how platform engineering provides the foundation to achieve both. Swetha breaks down how well-designed platforms remove friction, improve visibility, and create predictable paths to production. She explains how teams can use shared services, guardrails, and strong feedback loops to keep quality consistent even as AI-driven development accelerates delivery. The session focuses on practical steps leaders can take to build platforms that bring stability, speed, and confidence to engineering teams.
Key Takeaways
1. Innovation creates noise, making obvious truths harder to see.
2. Question if a problem really needs GenAI or if existing tools suffice.
3. Understand GenAI’s true value beyond the hype.
4. Old and new solutions should complement, not replace, each other.
5. A real-world case study shows how GenAI can be used effectively.
6. Clarity comes from cutting through illusions and embracing simplicity.
