CNCG New Delhi, in partnership with Devtron, is hosting a Platform Engineering meetup on June 7, 2025.
Let's May-ke it!
Want to understand what goes into setting up and managing a platform? Join us for a practical session where we’ll guide you through the process of building a platform from scratch. Whether you're a developer or someone curious about how things work behind the scenes, this event will give you a real sense of the challenges and rewards of platform engineering.
What to Expect:
Step-by-Step Walkthrough: We’ll cover the essentials of setting up a platform, including deployment, automation, and monitoring.
Lessons from Experience: Hear about common mistakes and things to watch out for when setting up a platform.
Live Demonstrations: Watch as we show you how to set up services, deploy apps, and handle the basic management of a platform.
Practical Tips: Learn about the tools and methods that make platform setup easier and more reliable.
Q&A Session: Have questions? We’ll open the floor for a discussion to help with any platform challenges you're facing.
Who Should Attend:
DevOps engineers or anyone involved in setting up infrastructure.
Developers who want to know more about the platform they work on.
Tech enthusiasts curious about what goes into building and maintaining a platform.
Start of the event, attendee registration and morning munch time.

Intro to Platform Engineering by Siddhant Khisty
As DevOps matures, organizations are hitting limits—tool sprawl, inconsistent developer experiences, and growing cognitive load. Enter Platform Engineering: a new approach focused on building internal platforms that abstract complexity and empower developers with golden paths. But is it replacing DevOps, or just evolving it? In this talk, we’ll explore what Platform Engineering is, why it’s gaining traction, and how it’s reshaping how we build and ship software.

Behind the Curtain: How Platform Teams Keep Developers Happy and Infra Stable
This session will walk you behind the scenes of modern platform engineering: what platform teams actually build (and why), how they empower developers with self-service tools, and how they maintain infrastructure stability without becoming bottlenecks. I’ll share real lessons, practical examples, and mistakes made along the way, all focused on the balancing act between velocity and control.
Whether you're a developer curious about platform teams, an SRE exploring product thinking, or someone considering starting a platform function in your org, this talk will offer a relatable, technical, and inspiring look at what it means to build the internal roads that others drive on.

Karpenter: Automating Infrastructure at Scale for Modern Platform Engineering
As Kubernetes adoption grows, managing infrastructure efficiently becomes increasingly critical. Traditional cluster autoscalers often fall short in dynamic, cost-optimized, and heterogeneous environments. Enter Karpenter — an open-source, flexible node provisioning solution by AWS and a CNCF project that redefines how infrastructure scales in real time.
In this session, we’ll explore Karpenter’s role in modern platform engineering, where automation, scalability, and developer experience take center stage.
