Remember the viral phrase “DevOps is Dead”? It sparked intense debate across the tech world—some dismissed it outright, while others quietly acknowledged what many were already feeling: traditional DevOps practices, in many organizations, just weren’t delivering on their promise. This conversation marked a turning point, opening the door to a deeper discussion about what’s broken, what’s changing, and where we go from here.
In this inaugural episode of The Platform Engineering Show, hosts Luca and Alan bring together expert voices to unpack the relationship between DevOps and platform engineering. Is DevOps truly on the decline? What role does platform engineering play in addressing the gaps? And how can engineering teams move forward in a way that actually works? This roundtable will go beyond the buzzwords to explore the real shifts happening in the industry—with honest insights, real-world examples, and practical guidance you can apply in your own work.
By attending, you’ll learn:
• Why the "DevOps is dead" conversation started—and what it really means
• How platform engineering addresses long-standing DevOps challenges
• What a healthy, scalable developer experience looks like today
• How leading teams are successfully evolving their engineering practices
Who should attend: Engineering leaders, platform and DevOps engineers, SREs, and anyone involved in building, scaling, or supporting modern software delivery platforms.
