If you are designing IDPs for military grade environments, you’re approaching things a whole lot differently. How do you think about developer experience if the user isn’t allowed to know anything about the run-time target? How do you work with obstacles such as strict security protocols, intricate compliance standards, and diverse deployment scenarios, including isolated (air-gapped) systems? André Alfter is frequently confronted with exactly these scenarios. By explaining his approach to designing and building platforms in these environments, we can get a fascinating perspective of what it takes to build security first. Worth for anybody interested in government scifi or if you’re working in regulated industries in general.

Solutions discussed will encompass workload abstraction to enhance security and simplicity, platform orchestration for reliable deployment across multiple environments, and the integration of security and observability from the outset.
