When DevOps Runs Its Course – We Need Platform as a Runtime

In this talk, Yuval will describe how Wix is pushing this trend even further to build its own Platform as a Runtime (PaaR) infrastructure that allows developers to develop faster, better with higher quality.

By allowing nano deployments of different modules into a “SingleRuntime” inside a robust internal platform that handles many of the non-functional concerns developers are facing on a daily basis.

18:45 — 19:30

Ittai Zeidman, Tamar Pinhas, Itzik Kitroser, Lital Morali and Yuval Perry.

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.
