Learn how to build and maintain scalable and secure AI-driven platforms for supercharged DevOps
We've handpicked an exclusive Manchester venue to host an intimate Lunch and Learn, where you'll gain hands-on knowledge on how to design, and maintain, a modern, secure development platform.
The afternoon event at Yotel Manchester Deansgate introduces leaders from Eficode and GitLab who will share insights, demos, and tips while allowing you to network with peers.
Why should you attend?
- Keynote: Why platform engineering is the key to scaling software delivery - from developer experience and velocity to governance and pain points.
- Tech Deep-Dive: How GitLab creates scalable, secure IDPs. Think: EKS, CodePipeline, Terraform on AWS, IAM, GitOps, and "golden paths."
- Live Demo: How to build a self-service platform focused on GitLab CI/CD, self-service app deployment, and built-in scanning and compliance guardrails.
- Peer Panel: Lessons from the trenches: Tips, tricks- and more.
Who should attend?
Platform Engineers, DevOps Managers, SREs and Cloud Architects, CTOs, Heads of Engineering, and Infrastructure and Security Leaders who have a security mandate, and have (or want!) an AI approach in place.
