ABSTRACT
Building on my 2022 talk, From Kubernetes to PaaS to... err, whats next, I aim to summarise the core goals of platform engineering to the software developer and architect communities.
My primary goal is for developers to understand what good looks like with a successful platform build and help them understand how a platform can influence the SDLC (for better or worse!)
Key takeaways from the session:
• Identify the core goals of a platform from a business and software delivery perspective
• Explore how platform architecture influences software architecture and vice versa
• Learn why the principles of coupling and cohesion apply to platform components (and configuration) in the same way as they do with software components
• Understand what to expect from an effective platform, including the influence on how applications are built, shipped, and run
• Learn about key platform metrics grounded in developer experience frameworks such as DORA, SPACE, and DevEx [...]

ABSTRACT
The modern enterprise has evolved in many ways since some of the typical Enterprise Architecture principles and practices emerged.
In this talk, Simon Rohrer will explain how the nature of the modern enterprise means many legacy Enterprise Architecture principles and practices are no longer applicable.
He makes some suggestions on how a modern EA practice can incorporate agile, DevOps, Systems Thinking and socio-technical ways of working at scale to achieve both short term business value, as well as effecting long term technology and organisation transformation - supporting better value, sooner, safer and happier; breaking dependencies rather than managing them.
Simons experience comes from over 10 years of leading and practicing Modern Enterprise Architecture in large, highly regulated, long-lived organisations with significant legacy technology estates. [...]

ABSTRACT
You enter the dungeon, as the echoes of your footsteps sound around you, something catches your eye - is that… oh, oh no.
You grab your trusty sword and with your fellow adventurers, you seek to overcome the mighty challenge that lays ahead of you: building software.
This talk is a look at some of the parallels between Dungeons and Dragons, and software development.
We’ll see how lessons learned through delving into dungeons and fighting monsters with a party of adventurers can help teams of developers when building software in the real world.
Are you ready to join me in a mighty quest for better software? [...]
