When I started contracting with the Dutch government to build a new internal developer platform, I found myself navigating competing demands from different teams.

Development teams wanted support tailored to their processes, neighboring infrastructure teams aimed to protect their areas of responsibility, and management expected visible progress. These conflicting priorities kept pulling my team in multiple directions, making it challenging to stay aligned and focused.
In this talk, I’ll share the tools and processes that helped address these challenges. I’ll provide practical insights for aligning diverse stakeholders.

Basic idea of what platform engineering means and what advantages it can bring.

The magic sauce of Platform Engineering is not in the technology, but in the way we streamline and automate communication and processes. This talk highlights these challenges and seeks to inspire the audience to think in terms of the needs of humans, rather than focusing too much on the technology
