Choose Your Own Adventure: The Dignified Pursuit of a Developer - Whitney Lee and Viktor Farcic

Choose Your Own Adventure: The Dignified Pursuit of a Developer Platform by @wiggitywhitney and @ViktorFarcic

Our hero, a running app in a Kubernetes production environment, knows they are destined for greater things! They’re serving end users, but the value of the cloud is not realized. Hero’s devs toil on custom integrations, deployment is brittle and slow, and security and governance are HARD. Hero longs for a developer platform with consistent and repeatable system building blocks.

It is up to you, the audience, to guide our hero’s transformation from a lost and confused app to one built on a solid foundation that abstracts away complexity and promotes innovation. In this ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’-style talk, Whitney and Viktor will present choices that an anthropomorphized app must make as they build an Internal Developer Platform, enabling the devs to have self-service access to widely used system capabilities. Throughout the presentation, the audience (YOU!) will vote to decide our hero's path! Can we navigate CNCF projects and build a platform before the session time elapses?

We had a great time at #KCDTexas 2025 in Austin, Texas. Join us next year to connect with the cloud native community in Texas, and stay at the cutting edge of Kubernetes, #DevOps, and #platformengineering!
