Platform Engineering 101: Building Internal Developer Platforms
This session explores how platform engineering and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) can reduce developer cognitive load, standardize tools, and boost productivity. Using cloud-native Java, Kubernetes, and Backstage, attendees will learn how IDPs streamline workflows, integrate AI, and simplify CI/CD pipelines for more efficient development.

Tell us what you want, what you really, really want… Developer productivity and reduced cognitive load, of course!
In our world of cloud-native Java development, AI embedding and shift-left mentality, developers are now drowning! They have an endless flood of tasks and responsibilities on their shoulders, whilst battling an ever-increasing sea of potential technologies and tools to use. Change is needed! So, build a dam with us through platform engineering and IDPs.
In this session, we’ll explore the concepts of platform engineering and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and how they can help to relieve the cognitive load on developers, help to standardize technologies and tools used throughout an organization, streamline CI/CD pipelines, help to incorporate AI-models and in essence enable greater developer productivity. We’ll investigate how this can all be achieved in the cloud, with example applications running in Kubernetes, with Backstage as the basis of our IDP.

Maarten Vandeperre is an experienced software professional who recently joined Red Hat as an Appdev & AI Specialized Solutions Architect. With a strong background in software development and architecture, he brings a wealth of expertise to his role. Maarten's primary focus is on application development and AI, with a particular emphasis on leveraging Red Hat's OpenShift platform from a developer's perspective.
One of Maarten's true passions lies in advocating for "clean architecture" as a guiding principle in software development. He firmly believes in the importance of designing software systems that are modular, maintainable, and scalable. As part of his dedication to this approach, Maarten strives to map these principles to infrastructure solutions, ensuring that the underlying technology supports and enhances the overall architecture. His deep understanding of integration technologies, such as API Gateways, Keycloak, Kafka, service mesh, and Camel, enables him to create seamless connections between systems while adhering to clean architectural principles, which empower organizations to thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
