What does a century-old, subterranean railway have in common with a modern Internal Developer Platform (IDP)? More than you might think.
Before we built digital platforms to streamline software delivery, the Mail Rail was London’s revolutionary solution for automated, high-volume package delivery. It was a physical platform engineered for scale, efficiency, and reliability—the very principles we strive for in the cloud-native world.
Join SUSE and Friends for an exclusive evening where we’ll explore the past and future of platform engineering. This is a unique opportunity to connect with your peers, share challenges, and discuss the technologies and strategies that are shaping our industry.
What to Expect
- Engaging Discussions: Dive into the topics that matter most, from improving Developer Experience (DevEx) and scaling IDPs to balancing abstraction and control in your platform.
- Peer Networking: Connect with London’s leading Platform Engineers, Cloud Architects, and SREs in a relaxed, informal setting.
- A Historic Experience: Enjoy complimentary food and drinks before taking an unforgettable ride on the historic Mail Rail, the original automated delivery network hidden beneath the city.
- Complimentary Hospitality: All food and drinks for the evening are on us.
