State of Open Con 2023

Why and how startups, and other small teams, can apply the principles and open source tools for platform engineering. A bottom up approach will be discussed, starting from standardized developer environments using open source tools like Vagrant and pytest. A direct line will be drawn from starting at developer environments to implementing CI/CD on up to scaling and monitoring a product that includes a web application, internal data science and machine learning infrastructure, and a variety of operating systems and devices hosting an agent.
