Platform Engineering in the Age of AI
InfoQ, Tuesday, September 8th, 2026
An InfoQ roundtable discusses how platform teams are adapting to support AI-assisted engineering, tooling and guardrails.
InfoQ editor Renato Losio hosts a panel with Stephane Di Cesare (DKB), Davide de Paolis (formerly sevDesk), Stephen Cihak (Harness) and consultant Camila Macedo on platform engineering in the AI era.
Panelists describe AI helping platform teams clear neglected work like documentation and IaC changes, analyze sprawling multi-account environments, and provide first-line support via internal MCP servers and agents.
They discuss which AI capabilities belong in the platform, trade-offs between standardization and developer autonomy, and managing AI tooling, security guardrails and shifting workflows.
