Building an AI-Powered, Paved Road Platform with Cloud-Native OSS

Explore the development of an AI-powered, paved road platform using cloud-native open-source software in this informative conference talk. Learn how Intuit, after managing over 3,000 microservices and monoliths on Kubernetes for four years, is constructing its next-generation platform. Discover how this innovative approach enables developers to define app intent while the platform handles the rest, reducing Kubernetes cognitive overload. Gain insights into abstracting networking and compute infrastructure, and leveraging AI-powered application autoscaling to enhance developer focus on coding. Understand how integrating open-source projects like Open Application Model, Istio, Karpenter, Argo Rollouts, and Numalogic/Numaflow can create an AI-native application platform, potentially increasing developer velocity by 25%. Benefit from Intuit's end-user perspective on Kubernetes usage and learn strategies for improving platform maturity and delivering an exceptional developer experience through an internal developer platform.
