The 2025 DORA Report shows that while AI tools are accelerating software delivery, they’re also exposing the limits of current systems. Gains in speed often mask deeper organizational and data challenges.
This session explores how engineering leaders can strengthen the foundations for AI-assisted development and operations by focusing on users, telemetry quality, and improving observability.
You’ll learn how to:
As a technical lead at Google Cloud, Rob helps customers ship software more smoothly. This involves applying principles from software engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and platform engineering to create systems and tools that are genuinely helpful, not frustrating. His goal is to clear the path for developers so they can focus on creative work and collaboration. Rob is driven by the idea of building healthier, more effective engineering cultures where curiosity and teamwork can flourish.
