Panel: When Platform Engineering Comes Knocking at Your Code – D2D Questions and Impact

How can developers achieve faster, better, and higher-quality development? Join us for an open panel discussion with Ittai Zeidman, Tamar Pinhas, Itzik Kitroser, Lital Morali and Yuval Perry as they delve into Wix's approach to building its own Platform as a Runtime infrastructure.

Together, they will explore how nano deployments of different modules into a unified "SingleRuntime" are revolutionizing development practices, and share more insights on how this internal platform is effectively addressing many challenges developers encounter daily.
