Building Bridges - Driving Platform Adoption Through Shared Responsibility

Explore a shared responsibility model for driving platform adoption across diverse engineering teams in this 15-minute conference talk. Discover how to move beyond rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches that create frustration and instead design platforms that teams genuinely want to use. Learn to bring platform teams, SREs, and application developers together through collaborative frameworks that establish adaptable architectural patterns, define meaningful SLIs/SLOs, and align with team-specific needs. Master best practices for breaking down organizational silos, building trust between teams, and creating platforms that become essential to daily workflows rather than just another tool. Gain insights into designing flexible platform architectures that encourage organic adoption and foster inter-team collaboration, transforming potential conflicts into productive partnerships that benefit the entire organization.
