Operating at Scale: Platform Engineering & Strategies with Choreo
This lab explores how Choreo can be configured and operated as a scalable internal developer platform (IDP) to support production-grade applications. From onboarding teams and configuring Kubernetes clusters as Private Data Planes (PDPs), to setting up standardized CI/CD pipelines and enforcing governance and security policies, you’ll gain a comprehensive view of platform operations.
You’ll also dive into key capabilities for production readiness—observability, incident response, cost optimization, and auto-scaling—demonstrating how Choreo enables teams to deliver secure, resilient, and efficient systems. Whether you’re building your own platform or evaluating solutions, this session offers actionable insights to align platform architecture with enterprise-scale demands—and shows how Choreo elevates the role of the platform operator to new heights.
