Both single tenant and multi-tenant approaches have their own pros and cons. While the single tenant approach is easy to start with, as your system grows it might not be sufficient enough. In this talk we are going to discuss how one of the mission critical applications in PostNL that was initially designed for single tenants was moved to a multi-tenant approach.

Do you really need platform teams?

Room: Zaal 11 | Time: 14:10 | Duration: 30

Platform engineering is one of the emerging trends in the tech. It promises to increase developer productivity and reduce cognitive load. Platform engineering focuses on abstracting the complexity of managing infrastructure, CI/CD, and observability through Internal Developer Platforms (IDP). However, having worked in both a startup and a large bank, we experience platform engineering as a burden. The promise of empowering engineers sounds good, but the fallacy often lies in the execution.
