Platform Engineering in Tokyo🇯🇵

Next week (Feb 10th to 14th 2025), I have the pleasure of visiting Tokyo, Japan, to talk about the past, present, and future of platform engineering in the context of Kubernetes and the cloud native ecosystem.

I was invited to present the Japanese-translated version of my book Platform Engineering on Kubernetes at the Developers Summit 2025 conference.

I am thrilled to go, as I will finally meet @nwiizo, who is an absolute legend, as he translated all the tutorials in the book repository to Japanese and participated in the translation of the book itself. If you are not following him, you should!

I will be signing book copies with @nwiizo here, too, so if you are around Tokyo, come and say hello!

If this were not enough, the Platform Engineering meetup group in Tokyo organized a fantastic event where I will also be presenting with other community speakers:

I must share my appreciation to @jacopen, @nwiizo and all the organizers and speakers for setting up this fantastic event. Click on the image to reserve your spot (in-person or online), as seats are running out.

I will also present at the JJUG (Japanese Java User Group) about the evolution of cloud-native and Java, focusing on how Dapr complements tools like Spring Boot and Quarkus. Please register asap, as space is running out too.

I am looking forward to meet with my friends Kohei Ota from Apple and Shinya Yanagihara from Microsoft who are always supportive and helping me to connect with different communities.

I am really looking forward to meeting the Japanese communities; if you want to talk about Platform Engineering, Dapr, or the cloud native ecosystem and you are around Tokyo, come and say hello; I am always happy to have a chat and meet new folks in the ever-changing cloud native space.
