How Twilio and Snyk improve developer experience

Learn from Platform Engineering leaders how to think about developer experience, and how to go about making it better.

Today’s dev ecosystem is too complex, has too few guardrails and is simply too distracting for developers. Developers are told “you build it, you own it” but oftentimes aren’t given what they need for undistracted work. Platform and DevOps folk have come to the understanding that something needs to change, now.

This discussion will hopefully shed some light on:

  • Developer Experience, where do I even start? How to hire and prioritize?
  • Understanding which DevEx approach works best for you
  • The impact on productivity, DORA metrics, quality and retention
  • How new tools and new cultures will emerge to support this movement
