Platform Engineering in the Age of AI Teammates
summary
Panel argues that existing platform practices still win but must become machine-readable contracts (not just README advice); shows concrete infra: a Terraform/HCL module pattern enforcing S3/security via Spacelift across 700+ AWS accounts; reports PR volume exploding as agents create pull requests and surfaces the new PR review bottleneck. DORA metrics remain useful as proxies for small-batch delivery, and practical fixes are policy-first OPA checks, vetted golden-path catalogs, and automated agent reviewers.
