Platform Engineering Practices for Speedy Delivery

What tools and techniques do top-performing teams incorporate into their software delivery practices in 2025? In this talk, you'll learn about ways to improve your DORA metrics to become an elite-performing team, and how benefits compound exponentially from adopting the interlocking modern developer productivity and platform engineering stack.

You'll see concrete, vendor-agnostic examples of teams gaining confidence in their delivery process through hermetic build artifacts, continuous delivery pipelines, feature flagging, observability, code ownership, blameless incident analysis, shared platforms/infrastructure, Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and chaos engineering.
