Platform Engineering in Financial Institutions: The Practitioner Panel
Panelat Platform Engineering Day 2025 - Europe · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 14:40· Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room F·
summary
Large banks (19M customers) and challengers (12M customers, ~500 engineers) describe platform engineering as Kubernetes-led but constrained by audits, licensing drift, and the need to show measurable value. Expect concrete claims about disaster recoverability (DORA-style recovery time across Kubernetes and legacy services), tooling like Flux/Argo and Helm, metrics that track developer suffering (time to get Kafka/db access) and productized platform components, plus an open source program office and examples of reducing audit radius via standardized namespaces.
