To Succeed in Platform Engineering, Build Infrastructure Knowledge Graphs

Learn how to leverage infrastructure knowledge graphs to overcome complexity challenges in platform engineering through this 32-minute conference talk from CNCF. Discover why traditional infrastructure management approaches that rely on implicit team knowledge are not scalable and often lead to operational challenges and reduced developer productivity. Explore how knowledge graphs can transform software infrastructure management by building explicit relationships between entities from diverse infrastructure sources that span beyond simple software catalogs and cloud resources. Understand the critical role knowledge graphs play in elevating both developer productivity and operational excellence in modern software development environments. Gain insights into practical strategies and mental models for constructing effective knowledge graphs around software infrastructure, enabling teams to better navigate the complex web of interrelated entities that characterize today's platform engineering landscape.
