The Platform Engineer’s Handbook • Ajay Chankramath & Kaspar von Grünberg • GOTO 2026

This conversation with Ajay Chankramath, author of 'The Platform Engineer’s Handbook,' delves into why practical, code-first guidance is essential for building Internal Developer Platforms. He argues that developer adoption failures stem from a "product discipline gap," not a technology one, emphasizing developer experience as a first-class outcome. The discussion covers the book's arc from foundations to enterprise-grade features and its focus on 100% open-source, vendor-agnostic tooling. Crucially, it highlights how agentic AI raises the stakes for platform engineering, requiring new IDP layers for agent context, memory, and guardrails, asserting that these must be built, owned, and operated internally for safe and productive AI adoption.
