Platform Automation Using Crossplane
About the webinar
Platform engineering reduces the burden on developers by providing comprehensive solutions in one place, enabling automation, integration, and other self service capabilities. However, crafting a positive developer experience depends on knowing which components to integrate and which to steer clear of. When it comes to building a developer platform, the architectural framework (e.g., microservices and serverless) you choose plays a critical role!
In this webinar, we’ll look into key aspects contributing to a positive or negative experience when working with platform engineering tools and frameworks. Our guests will shed light on the design patterns one can use while building platforms and the challenges that exist in the process. Finally, we will take a deep dive into Crossplane and explore how Upbound enables platform automation using it to enhance developer velocity and productivity.
