Platform Engineering, Tuesday, July 7th, 2026
A podcast episode on how scalable AI depends on robust platform engineering, recapping PlatformCon NYC.
In this episode of The Platform Engineering Show, Alan Shimel interviews Luca Galante about PlatformCon NYC's success and how platform engineering roles are evolving in the AI era.
Galante argues that a flashy day-zero demo cannot scale into a functional, value-creating AI deployment without a robust, well-designed platform. The discussion highlights how organizations increasingly recognize that effective AI implementation requires solid infrastructure foundations.
Platform engineering teams are expanding beyond traditional IT operations to manage complete software supply chains and establish security controls for enterprise AI systems.
