Learn to transform platform engineering from manual provisioning to automated self-service infrastructure in this hands-on workshop. Explore how to architect Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that enable developers to provision complete software pipelines through standardized templates while maintaining security and governance controls. Discover architecture patterns for IDP-driven infrastructure provisioning, implement security layers using OIDC and restricted contexts, and create reusable pipeline templates with flexible override capabilities. Experience live demonstrations of automated workflows that provision GitHub repositories, CircleCI projects, and deployment pipelines through a single interface, while leveraging CircleCI's MCP integration to reduce developer context switching. Master the transition from reactive ticket fulfillment to proactive enablement, allowing developers to self-serve infrastructure while ensuring organizational standards and security compliance remain intact.
