London Cloud Leaders #7 - Internal Developer Platforms

Presented by Prism Digital, GlobalLogic and Spotify

Join us for the next edition of London Cloud Leaders, an exclusive roundtable for senior Cloud and DevOps leaders tackling the realities of modern software delivery.

This time we’re hosted by GlobalLogic in collaboration with Spotify, with the discussion led by Billy Michael, Engineering Director for Platforms at GlobalLogic, all around Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).

“DevOps has transformed how we build software, giving teams greater autonomy but also introducing new challenges. Developers are taking on end-to-end responsibilities from secrets management and infrastructure as code to CI/CD pipelines and the cognitive load is rising fast. Stripe reports developer productivity at just 68 percent. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80 percent of large engineering organisations will have platform teams providing reusable services, tools and paved paths to streamline delivery.”

Billy brings hands-on experience building platforms for some of the UK’s top retail banks. At GlobalLogic, his focus is embedding self-service into platform offerings, balancing speed with governance. Expect a no-nonsense take on adoption, success metrics and common pitfalls.
