How Platform Teams Can Balance Standardization, Developer Experience, and Operational Efficiency

New research from Coder and SlashData reveals how enterprises are managing development environments, where they are facing challenges, and what mature platform engineering teams are doing differently.

This roundtable will explore:

• Common misunderstandings of cloud development environments (CDEs)
• Why Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) remains common despite its limitations
• How disconnects between administrators and developers create hidden inefficiencies
• The shift toward standardization and the challenges organizations encounter in implementing it

Join us to learn how platform teams can reduce setup times, streamline approvals, and improve developer satisfaction without sacrificing security or control. The conversation will highlight how leading organizations are using platform engineering practices, automation, and AI to improve operational maturity and developer productivity.

This session is designed for engineering, architecture, and product leaders who want to improve development workflows, reduce friction between teams, and select the right strategies and tools for standardization.
