Build an AI-Powered Internal Developer Platform That Actually Works

Most Internal Developer Platforms fail not because of tools, but because they are not built as products.
In this 2-day live, hands-on workshop, learn how to design and build a production-ready IDP using platform engineering principles and AI-augmented operations.
You will work through real implementations, including AI-assisted incident triage, RAG-powered documentation, and self-service platform capabilities.
Led by Ajay Chankramath, author of The Platform Engineer’s Handbook, this workshop focuses on what actually works in enterprise environments.
If you are working in DevOps, SRE, or platform teams and want to move beyond tool sprawl to building scalable internal platforms, this is worth your time.
