Striking the balance between Autonomy and Governance is surprisingly difficult. At The LEGO Group, developers are free to choose the tools they believe suit their task best. Limiting this autonomy will stifle developer creativity and lead to shadow IT, so how can you leverage Platform Engineering without becoming a Kragle-wielding Lord Business? More than 100 product teams run their applications in LEGO factories across the globe, and that requires good communication between infrastructure-, platform-, and application teams. This session will focus on how the LEGO Container Platform Team successfully onboards new applications, engages with developers, and keeps them happy.
