The Platform Gearbox: Connecting Rapid Experimentation to Scalable Resilience (sponsored)

Fabio Flückiger

14:30 - 14:45

La Cave

Feature development requires rapid experimentation and a high velocity, while production infrastructure demands predictability, compliance, and a deliberate stability. When organizations force developers directly onto raw infrastructure, the experimentation comes to a halt. Modern platform engineering acts as a mechanical gearbox — building a bridge between the slow, heavy torque of core systems and the fast spinning, fluid, frictionless velocity needed for feature development. In this session, discover how PostFinance bridges these differing operational rhythms. I will share how we built self-service abstractions and automated guardrails using Backstage and Crossplane, enabling developers to provision compliant, production-grade environments on demand.
