About this talk

This talk, presented by Adam Furmanek, explores the transformation in software development and the persistent inefficiencies within the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The speaker discusses the critical need for Developers to take ownership of their databases and the role of Platform Engineers in fostering this shift. By emphasizing improved communication and the implementation of guardrails, Furmanek outlines how to enhance observability and streamline processes through tools like OpenTelemetry, ultimately envisioning a future where development teams operate more autonomously and efficiently.
