We had a brilliant turnout last night for the September London Platform User Group (LoPUG) Meetup at our office! It was great to see lots of familiar faces and hear insights from our CEO/CTO, Nicki Watt, and Ettie Eyre, Lead Site Reliability Engineer at Lloyds Banking Group. Here are a few highlights! #PlatformEngineering

The Data Science Festival is returning to CodeNode London on 19th October, and we are thrilled to announce that OpenCredo will be sponsoring #DSF and our Technical Delivery Director James Bowkett will be speaking on 'Mastering Data-Centric Engineering: 12 Principles for Success'' Data is everywhere, and so too are data-centric applications. As the world becomes increasingly data-centric, and the volumes of that data increase over time, data engineering will become more and more important. If we're going to be dealing with petabytes of data it will be better to get the fundamentals in place before you start, rather than trying to retrofit best practices onto mountains of data. This only makes a difficult job harder. The 12-factor app helped to define how we think about and design cloud native applications. In this presentation, I will discuss 12 principles of designing data-centric applications that have helped me over the years across 4 categories : Architecture & Design, Quality & Validation (Observability), Audit & Explainability, Consumption. This has ultimately led to our teams delivering data platforms that are both testable and well-tested. The 12 factors also enable them to be upgraded in a safe and controlled manner and will help them get deployed quickly, safely and repeatedly. This talk will be filled with examples and counter examples from the course of my career and the projects that my teams have seen over the years. It will incorporate software engineering best practices and how these apply to data-centric engineering. We hope that you can benefit from some of our experience to create higher quality data-centric applications that scale better and get into production quicker.

We are excited to announce that our CEO/CTO Nicki Watt will be doing a talk on ‘Help, I’m a developer, and I need a decent platform!’ at the Build Stuff - Software Development Conference on 15th November 2024. You're a humble hard working software development team valiantly trying to build your stuff and get it into production. But a huge part of your time seems to be taken up fighting with the run stuff - the CI/CD deployment scripts, setting environments up and trouble shooting K8S, cloud or other infrastructure related setups. Enter Platform engineering! One of the hottest trends in 2024, technology leaders are actively pursuing the introduction of, or evolution of internal developer platforms (IDPs) as means to try and address some of these problems and help improve engineering productivity as well as enable faster time to market. Self service capabilities, standardisation, intuitive interfaces and processes - these are the promises, but is it the reality? If for you, like many other development teams, this is not the case, then this talk is for you. This talk will start by setting the scene to establish what a good platform engineering initiative should look like - so we know where we are aiming for. Then, walking through a few real world experiences, we dive into some of the reasons as to why this may not be the case. Most importantly, we explore what tips, tricks and strategies you can employ to help amplify and get your development voice and considerations heard by the platform teams developing and building platforms on your behalf Register and learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e9YEEw9 #Kubernetes #PlatformEngineering #BuildStuffConf

Is there a recording of this coming at some point? I'm very interested in hearing about this topic
