Yesterday, the world’s largest platform engineering conference was in Paris for the first time ever. It was awesome! France is one of those countries where, if you don’t know the people to talk to or the businesses, it’s hard to know what’s going on there.

Luckily for me;) I know Luc Legardeur and his team at Wescale, alongside our awesome French platform engineering ambassadors. That gives me the secret tunnel into the awesome stuff that’s happening in the French platform engineering universe.

• 500+ attendees
• 20 partners
• 20+ speakers

And this was just the first go!

So, what were some of the highlights?

• Platform engineering fundamentals and challenges are universal. Whether you’re French, Italian, or in Silicon Valley. Our best practices are the same.
• AI might be the elephant in the room. But platform engineering is the rocket that sends that elephant to Mars.
• The stuff we are doing with AI now is Next. Level. And it’s not just American startups doing. Luc’s new adventure Solario.ai proves it

We’ve now done London, New York, and Paris. Where should PlatformCon go next? Reply and let me know!
