Day 1 at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon EU was amazing! 🔥 Crossplane was everywhere, packed sessions, great conversations, and a busy booth all day. Platform teams from Allianz Technology and Millennium bcp shared how they’re building and running platforms with Crossplane in production. Florian Hopfensperger (Allianz Technology) & Yury Tsarev (Upbound) walked through API-driven infrastructure as a contract between teams, while Nuno Guedes (Millennium bcp) & Yury Tsarev (Upbound) shared how they’re moving toward self-healing, AI-enabled control planes in banking. We also had sessions from Crossplane maintainers and contributors: Jared Watts and Adam Wolfe Gordon (Upbound) broke down the Crossplane project as the cloud native framework for platform engineering, while Viktor Farcic (Upbound) & Whitney Lee (Datadog) explored how AI is starting to intersect with internal developer platforms.
