As cloud-native systems grow in complexity, developers are increasingly expected to manage far more than application logic—CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, Kubernetes runtime settings, security controls, and cost considerations. This expanding scope creates cognitive overload, slows delivery, and increases the risk of inconsistency and misconfiguration across teams. This session explores how platform engineering can be used to systematically reduce developer cognitive load while maintaining control, governance, and scalability. It examines architectural patterns that centralize delivery concerns behind well-defined abstractions, allowing developers to focus on building software while platforms handle consistency, security, and operational correctness. In this webinar, Avinash covers: - How to simplify the developer workflow by removing the need to manage CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and Kubernetes runtime details for every service. - How to give developers fast, actionable feedback through early validation of security, configuration, and resource usage, reducing friction and rework. - How to build platforms developers actually want to use, balancing abstraction and flexibility while maintaining consistency across teams and environments. ___________________ Speaker: Avinash Sabat - Principal Cloud DevOps Engineer @ Synechron | UBS Avinash Sabat is a Principal Cloud DevOps Engineer with 13+ years of experience in the financial industry, specializing in building and optimizing secure, scalable cloud analytics and compliance platforms for banks.
