Platform engineering, AI &... tequila. What more do you need?

2026-03-20

Hey there! Welcome to Platform Weekly. Your weekly shot of platform engineering tequila. Every week, we dive into best practices, news, lessons and updates from the platform engineering community.

P.S.

In San Francisco? Come join our meetup next week on how to survive and keep up in an AI first world
We’ve launched an Instagram for House of Kube! We’ll be posting all the awesome pictures, videos and behind the scenes GOLD there.

It’s party time.

Next week the team and I will be at KubeCon for a workshop, a roundtable, an exec dinner, a Meetup and of course… the one event that stands above all others in my heart, HOUSE OF KUBE!

I remember attending KubeCon Valencia and going from corporate event to corporate event looking for a fun way to not just network or learn, but to actually hang out with folks and have some fun.

I couldn’t find a single event in 2022 that was really about letting loose. So we created one.

House of Kube has been the (in)famous and (un)official opening party of KubeCon ever since. Literally thousands of us have come together to dance, sing karaoke, drink and have a great time (And have some pretty intense engineering debates and networking over beers too). This is the event that combines all of it.

There is a reason it's taken over Vegas for Re:Invent and soon Next as well.

On the Community events page, there is of course opportunity for awesome roundtable discussions, Meetups and deep workshops where you can better learn about and discuss platform engineering… but there is no event in cloud-native like House of Kube.

If you’ve never been - House of Kube Amsterdam is a perfect place to start. And if you have, I can’t wait to see you again;)

Let’s rock this!

Highlight of the week:

NVIDIA has introduced NeMoClaw at GTC, and our friends at Vultr are one of the integrated partners. So they’re offering folks in the community a 7-day trial to play around: https://discover.vultr.com/nemoclaw-offer
