In today’s cloud-first world, where speed, scale, and resilience define success, platform engineering has emerged as a strategic function — bridging the gap between infrastructure and application development. As this field evolves, so does the need for continuous learning, sharing, and collaboration.
Enter KubeCrash Spring 2025 — a one-of-a-kind, free virtual event dedicated to helping platform engineers, SREs, and DevOps professionals thrive in the ever-changing cloud native ecosystem.
What is KubeCrash?
KubeCrash is a recurring virtual event series designed as a hands-on, knowledge-rich crash course for professionals building platforms on Kubernetes and related cloud native tools.
Unlike traditional conferences, KubeCrash is:
- Deeply practical – Sessions are focused on real-world implementations and hard-won lessons.
- Community-driven – Built by and for the open source community.
- Free and accessible – 100% virtual with no cost to attend.
- Focused on impact – Each event partners with a nonprofit, and this year’s beneficiary is Deaf Kids Code, a cause that promotes digital equity and tech education.
What Makes KubeCrash Valuable?
1. Real-World, Open Source Insights
At KubeCrash, content isn’t theoretical or sales-driven. It’s built around actual use cases, open source contributions, and team-level practices that can be applied immediately. Whether it’s managing multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms, implementing Policy as Code, or tackling observability at scale, each session is crafted to help engineers solve real problems.
2. Focused on Platform Engineering
KubeCrash Spring 2025 zeroes in on platform engineering — the discipline of designing internal platforms that standardize tools, automation, and developer experiences. In a world where developer velocity and infrastructure reliability must coexist, platform teams are becoming the backbone of enterprise software delivery.
This event gives these teams the blueprints to succeed: from architecture decisions and security controls to GitOps workflows and self-service developer portals.
3. Cloud Native, End-to-End
The cloud native ecosystem is vast, spanning Kubernetes, observability stacks, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, service meshes, and more. KubeCrash distills this complexity into digestible, hands-on insights. You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and what’s evolving across the entire lifecycle — from deployment to day-2 operations.
4. Platform Maturity at Any Scale
Whether you’re a team of two just starting out or a large-scale enterprise with hundreds of services, KubeCrash offers guidance for all levels. Talks and demos cover:
- Setting up scalable internal developer platforms (IDPs)
- Building governance with Policy as Code
- Integrating observability tools for faster troubleshooting
- Leveraging automation for secure, consistent environments
Who Should Attend?
- Platform Engineers – Building and managing internal developer platforms
- SREs & DevOps Engineers – Looking to automate operations and improve reliability
- Cloud Architects – Designing scalable, modular cloud-native systems
