Intensifying cost pressures, evolving regulatory scrutiny, and the escalating velocity of innovation the role of technology platforms under the spotlight.
Join peers at our exclusive event for technology leaders and decision makers tasked with modernising and operating legacy estates of digital portfolios.
Containers, cloud and microservices promised a simpler, safer horizon. but brought with them a new set of challenges. Scale-to-zero, WebAssembly and AI-native platforms bring much promise but are they production ready?
Together, we'll dive into escaping the complexity trap of microservices architectures, improving developer experience (DX), and aligning technology capabilities more tightly with business goals. We’ll explore how the shift toward lighter, composable, more sustainable platforms opening up new possibilities for cost efficiency, agility, and resilience.
A 60-minute session opens with sharp, insightful talks from leaders at the intersection of banking, technology, and platform engineering, including:
- Paul Clark, CIO Payments Acquiring, Barclays
- Sam White, Technology Director, Red Badger
- Nick Durkin, Global Field CTO, Harness
Our speakers will share their latest thinking and frontline experiences in transforming banking, payments and consumer platforms. No strangers to regulation, and innovating whilst under intense commercial pressures, they’ll offer insights into what “next-gen” platforms are made of, what’s working for large-scale enterprises today, and how to get there.
You’ll engage directly with speakers and peers navigating the same challenges: an opportunity for candid dialogue, to share perspectives, surface real-world challenges, and identify actionable next steps.
Topics include:
- What “next-gen” platforms look like in practice — and how to build toward them today
- Aligning platform strategy directly with business outcomes
- Developer experience as a competitive edge, not a cost centre
- The post-containers horizon and the end of heavyweight compute
- Green, sustainable platforms doing more with less
- Moving from distributed complexity to modular simplicity with WebAssembly
- How to get started and overcome organisational resistance
