If you’re building any kind of platform for developers, you know it’s no easy ride, especially in large organisations. A rigid, one-size-fits-all approach often fail to gain traction. This is where inner-sourcing becomes necessary, where you're bringing open-source principles into your organisation, and this does make a big difference. 3 benefits of inner-sourcing:  1️⃣ High Quality & Extensibility: When you build in the open, teams naturally raise their standards, and the platform becomes adaptable enough to handle different use cases.  2️⃣ Inclusive Approach to Drive Change: When developers across different teams can contribute, you're encouraging collaboration.  3️⃣ Avoids Platform Obsolescence: It keeps the platform relevant. Instead of becoming another legacy system we have to maintain, it evolves with our needs. Sure, smaller teams might do fine with an opinionated approach. But in big orgs? Inner-sourcing can transform your platform into a living, breathing ecosystem that grows and thrives. We’ve spoken all about it in our latest blog. This blog might be the fresh perspective you need on innersourcing. Do give it a read here and comment or DM me your insights on this 👇

Complete Recap and Insights we took away from KubeCon India 2024: On December 11-12, Delhi hosted India’s first KubeCon, a massive milestone for over 200,000 developers shaping the tech landscape. The energy was unmatched as the Cloud Native Computing Foundation brought global tech leaders right to our backyard. Our team—adi unni, Ishaan Kalra, Kumar Jyanav, and Rohit Raveendran—dove into two days packed with insights, talks, and connections. On day 1, Rohit Raveendran and Ishaan Kalra attended a lot of talks, some of them were: • Platform engineering: Shivani Mehrotra from Expedia Group shared how they efficiently manage infrastructure at scale using GitOps practices. • GenAI workflows: Open-source tools are connecting in new ways, transforming development workflows with AI. • Cloud-native security: Gourav Yadav from Intuit focused on integrating robust security into core systems throughout the development process. But the highlight for us? 👀 Our mixer at underdoggs on day 1⚡️. We hosted a session on “Shift-left in practice,” featuring Saurabh Mishra, Jaideep Khandelwal, Chinmay Naik, Chintan Thakar, Dhaval S., Jisha Ashokan, Kush T., Dharmit Shah, Sharma Shivlal, Somnath Chakraborty, Shrinivas Kumbhar and more post the KubeCon event. We explored how shift-left reshapes DevOps by enabling teams to catch issues earlier, embrace ownership, and create resilient systems. Day 2 kicked off with the launch of LF India by The Linux Foundation, a game-changer for India’s developer ecosystem. We again attended some standout sessions, including: • Ensuring Reliability of Kubernetes Operators” by Aniruddha Basak • Debugging from CoreDNS to Coreutils” by Akhil Mohan Overall, KubeCon was an awesome experience for us—lots of fun and tons of learning. Here are some of the key takeaways from KubeCon India 2024 we got: • India 🇮🇳 is emerging as a global open-source hub with LF India. • The rise of platform engineering to build scalable systems. Companies like Swiggy, Amdocs, Airbus, Groww, and EarnIn are actively building robust platform engineering teams, validating that companies are moving towards platform engineering. • Shift-left is gaining traction as companies like NielsenIQ are building teams that integrate security, DevOps, and more earlier in the development process—a principle we’re building on at Facets. • GenAI workflows are automating tasks like code generation, testing, and bug detection, streamlining dev pipelines and boosting efficiency. KubeCon represents the incredible growth of cloud-native in India and its vibrant developer community. With these innovations, the future of tech in India looks bright, and we can’t wait for KubeCon Hyderabad 2025! ⚡️ 👋 Also, if you want to read the field notes we took from talks around Platform engineering, SLDC and AI, read this blog: https://lnkd.in/gMzTkpxh #kubecon #kubeconindia #kubecon2024 #cloudnativecon

Wrapped up an amazing session with Rajat Kothari at the AWS ISV Embark Series: Modern Apps Edition in Hyderabad! The energy and insights from the tech community were incredible. More insights and takeaways from the talk are to come. Next stop: Chennai! Excited to continue the conversation and connect with more innovators and tech enthusiasts. See you there!

After day one of KubeCon Delhi, we hosted a tech leaders mixer at Underdoggs, Aerocity. The evening was filled with insightful conversations, sharp perspectives, and, of course, great company. Topic of the Night: Demystifying Shift-Left in Practice The roundtable kicked off with Saurabh Mishra tackling the "what" and "why" of shift-left. To our relief, not a single hand went up when we asked if it was "just a buzzword." Jaideep Khandelwal led the discussion towards how shift-left is not just a technical shift but a cultural adaptation within engineering teams. This sentiment resonated strongly with Kush T. and many others. Rohit Raveendran expanded on the technical enablers needed for effective shift-left implementation, pointing out that it’s not about merely shifting responsibilities to those "on the left." Instead, it’s about building frameworks and platforms to empower those personas. His example of a BDD-driven framework enabling product owners to write assertions hit home as a practical demonstration of this philosophy. The conversation naturally veered into platformization—when, why, and how it fits into the bigger picture.i.e Measuring Success in Shift-Left. We wrapped up with how organizations can measure the success of their shift-left initiatives. Chinmay Naik emphasized the ultimate goal of achieving true continuous delivery, backed by DORA metrics. Rohit proposed a leadership perspective: success is when tech leaders have confidence in key guarantees—be it quality, cost, or any other critical aspect—and can address breaches with permanent solutions. Stay tuned for a separate post diving deeper into each of the conversations happened!⚡ Thanks for making it an amazing evening: Abhinav Sharma, Chinmay Naik, Chintan Thakar, Dhaval S., Jaideep Khandelwal, Jisha Ashokan, Krishan Dhingra, Kush T., Sahil J., Sandeep Raghuwanshi, Aniket Patel, Saurabh Mishra, Dharmit Shah, Sharma Shivlal, Somnath Chakraborty, Shrinivas Kumbhar #KubeCon #TechLeadership #ShiftLeft #DevOpsCulture #PlatformEngineering #ContinuousDelivery #DORAMetrics #Collaboration
