Nikki Wat, the CEO and CTO of open Credo, a software development consultancy based in London, discusses the challenges of creating distributed architectures, cloud-native systems, data solutions, and platform engineering. She emphasizes the importance of platform engineering as a discipline that combines social and technical aspects to help internal developers easily build, deploy, and run their products. The talk will address stumbling blocks in implementing platform engineering and what a good user-centric platform looks like. The need for platform engineering stems from businesses desire to scale and increase delivery speed, while also complying with security and regulatory standards and fostering innovation. However, there is recognition that the current methods of scaling and delivery have deficiencies that need to be addressed.
