Developers are frustrated. Pipelines are brittle. Security feels like a blocker. According to our latest research, 67% of developers still rely on manual rollbacks, and nearly all report friction from toolchain sprawl. In this session, we’ll dig into the hidden inefficiencies in most DevOps stacks and explore how platform teams are flipping the script with reusable templates, embedded policy-as-code, and intelligent automation. If you want to boost delivery velocity without compromising control, this is where to start.

Key Takeaways:

-How the structure of your stack leads to friction and frustration

-How Platform Teams can use templates, policies, and automation to eliminate friction

-Practical steps to modernize without a complete rebuild
