In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, the ability to innovate quickly is essential. Open-source technologies offer organizations a unique way to accelerate innovation, providing customizable tools and frameworks that can be tailored to meet specific needs. This talk will examine the transformative potential of open-source in building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that boosts productivity, fosters collaboration, and drives operational efficiency. Attendees will gain insight into the benefits and challenges of adopting open-source for IDPs and learn best practices for managing and scaling an open-source-driven platform. Additionally, the session will share real-world examples where open-source contributions have reduced manual toil and enabled self-service capabilities. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how open-source tools can accelerate innovation, the best approaches for building and scaling open-source-driven platforms, and how open-source contributions can help reduce complexity and drive efficiency. Join us to discover how leveraging open-source can empower organizations to build scalable, developer-friendly platforms that foster innovation and drive success.
