Instructor-led workshop

Platform Design

Design an internal platform from first principles, connecting Kubernetes and CNCF capabilities to GitOps workflows and developer experience.

Why this workshop

Help platform teams make explicit architectural and product decisions before tools harden into an accidental operating model.

Participants can frame the problems a platform should solve and select complementary capabilities deliberately.
Teams leave with a clearer route to governed self-service and internal developer platform scaffolding.

Work through the architectural and engineering decisions required to build a platform around real user needs.

Understand the problems Kubernetes solves and where complementary CNCF capabilities support networking, telemetry and operations.

Examine the benefits and trade-offs of reconciliation-based delivery, reviewable change and declarative environments.

Shape service scaffolding and discoverable golden paths that reduce cognitive load without hiding operational responsibility.

Choose one

Architecture exercises start from participants' existing platform expertise and the constraints their product teams experience today.

Tool depth and operating-model discussion are adjusted to the organisation's business and technology maturity.

We'll agree the emphasis, depth and practical exercises around your engineers and the outcomes you need.
