In this episode, we’re meeting with John Burns, Sr Staff Software Engineer at Grubhub and Co-organizer of the Chicago Kotlin User Group. With extensive experience in building scaled enterprise and eCommerce platforms, John specializes in microservice platform engineering and is a passionate advocate for superior developer experiences. In this episode, we'll explore John's journey from constructing robust platforms to developing an essential tool for developers: the internal developer portal.
This session is a deep dive into the creation of platforms as a service that are both scalable and generic, followed by the strategic development of an internal developer portal, conceptualized as a "single pane of glass" to simplify and enhance the developer experience. We will discuss the importance of these tools and practices within large enterprises, focusing on how they facilitate better service management, developer autonomy, and streamlined operations.
