Title & Speakers Event

It’s been five years since the publication of Team Topologies by Manuel Pais and Matthew Skelton, which built the foundation for the platform engineering revolution. This roundtable with co-author Manuel Pais will celebrate this influential book and highlight how far we’ve come –– and still have to go.

Published in 2019, the book Team Topologies by Manuel Pais and Matthew Skelton is a key milestone in the platform engineering movement. A foundational text of platform engineering, it identifies cognitive load as one of the main reasons for slow software delivery. The book also establishes core concepts like platform teams, platform as a product, and thinnest viable platforms following the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach as the fundamentals of platform engineering.

Team Topologies has become one of the leading approaches to organizing business and technology teams for fast flow, providing a practical, step-by‑step, adaptive model for organizational design and team interaction.

We are very pleased to announce this 5th anniversary roundtable with Manuel Pais, joined by Nicki Watt (CEO/CTO at OpenCredo), Paul Ingles (Uswitch), and Torill Iversen (NAV).

During the roundtable, we will discuss:

  • Team Topologies impact on the platform engineering movement
  • Success stories of the approach
  • Obstacles practitioners came across when implementing
  • What we have learned since 2019
  • New challenges that have emerged since (topics for a second edition?)
  • What the future holds

After a 30-minute panel there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance. A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.


Speaker: Manuel Pais, Co-author of Team Topologies Manuel Pais is co-author of Team Topologies: organizing business and technology teams for fast flow. Recognized by TechBeacon as a DevOps thought leader, Manuel is an independent IT organizational consultant and trainer, focused on team interactions, delivery practices and accelerating flow. Manuel is also a LinkedIn instructor on accelerating Continuous Delivery in the enterprise.

Five years of Team Topologies: Reflections and predictions for the future

Join OpenUK on Tuesday 21 November for our ninth OpenUK community meetup! We will talk about the hot topic of 2023: Platform Engineering!

  • How do we use it to do more with less?
  • To increase developer productivity?
  • To facilitate a conversation between engineering and business?
  • How do we create a product that our internal devs actually want to use?
  • How do you find your minimal viable platform?
  • How do you measure the developer experience?
  • How does open source fit into all of this?
  • What are some big name open source projects making headlines? Any needing contributors?

6:30pm: Arrive, grab a bev, a slice and a chat. Scope out our swag table (bring pieces to contribute or trade!) 7:15pm: We will kick off with a Panel on the State of Platform Engineering with OpenCredo's Nicki Watt, DevRel Daniel Bryant, and Syntasso's Cat Morris, who have all been there, built that [Livestreaming begins] 8:00pm: Breakout Platform-as-a-Product workshop, facilitated by Tyk's Richard Johnston [We can do a virtual breakout too, so encourage your colleagues to sign up!] 8:45-9pm: Raffle winner announcement, cleanup and see-ya-next-time.

Every attendee – online or in person – can choose to put their name forward into a prize draw to win a free ticket to the Second Annual State of Open Con taking place on 7-8 February, 2024, in central London. Just another reason not to miss this epic night!

Neo4j in Action is a comprehensive guide to Neo4j, aimed at application developers and software architects. Using hands-on examples, you'll learn to model graph domains naturally with Neo4j graph structures. The book explores the full power of native Java APIs for graph data manipulation and querying. About the Technology Much of the data today is highly connected--from social networks to supply chains to software dependency management--and more connections are continually being uncovered. Neo4j is an ideal graph database tool for highly connected data. It is mature, production-ready, and unique in enabling developers to simply and efficiently model and query connected data. About the Book Neo4j in Action is a comprehensive guide to designing, implementing, and querying graph data using Neo4j. Using hands-on examples, you'll learn to model graph domains naturally with Neo4j graph structures. The book explores the full power of native Java APIs for graph data manipulation and querying. It also covers Cypher, Neo4j's graph query language. Along the way, you'll learn how to integrate Neo4j into your domain-driven app using Spring Data Neo4j, as well as how to use Neo4j in standalone server or embedded modes. What's Inside Graph database patterns How to model data in social networks How to use Neo4j in your Java applications How to configure and set up Neo4j About the Reader Knowledge of Java basics is required. No prior experience with graph data or Neo4j is assumed. About the Authors Aleksa Vukotic is an architect specializing in graph data models. Nicki Watt, Dominic Fox, Tareq Abedrabbo, and Jonas Partner work at OpenCredo, a Neo Technology partner, and have been involved in many projects using Neo4j. Quotes A pragmatic programmatic tour through Neo4j’s APIs and query language. - From the Foreword by Jim Webber and Ian Robinson, Neo Technology Excellent coverage of one of the most successful NoSQL products. - Pouria Amirian, PhD, University of Oxford A great resource for rethinking your data storage using graphs in Neo4j. - Stephen Kitt, ERDF
