Need for Speed: Platform Engineering in an AI-Driven World
Generative AI accelerates prototyping but can overwhelm platform and security teams with unvetted code and fragmented designs. This session shows how to build internal platforms with golden paths and automated guardrails, enabling technical and non-technical teams to iterate safely, ship faster, and maintain stability.

Generative AI gave everyone a magic text box. Suddenly, anyone can dream, create, and build a prototype or an application that perfectly solves their pain points in a way that has never been possible before.
But for platform and security teams, this magic feels more like a floodgate opening—a tidal wave of rapid proofs-of-concept, unvetted code, and fragmented designs that overwhelm these teams, bring chaos to stable platforms, and even shorter development cycles.
The solution isn't to slow down the builders; it's to build better roads.
This session explores how to bridge the gap between AI-driven generation and reliable software engineering. We will dive into how we built an internal platform that acts as a paved road for both technical and non-technical teams. We will share practical experience on building "golden paths" and automated guardrails that empower non-technical teams to iterate safely, and technical teams to ship faster. Learn how to define clear perimeters, streamline manual checks, and apply solid engineering principles to maintain velocity without sacrificing stability.
