As organisations evolve toward SaaS, the ability to onboard clients quickly and consistently across products becomes a key differentiator. Achieving this requires more than standardisation. It requires strong coordination between platform engineering, product engineering, and developer experience.
Platform engineering provides the foundation through standardised domain models, APIs, and shared capabilities. Product engineering builds on this to deliver client-facing services and onboarding workflows. Developer experience ensures these capabilities are easy to adopt and use. This session explores how these three disciplines work together to enable effective SaaS delivery. Using real-world examples from domain-driven platforms, the talk shows how treating the platform as a product, through scaffolding, pre-integrated services, and simplified data conversion, reduces developer friction and improves adoption.
The session also highlights how generative AI can enhance developer experience by assisting with data mapping, generating integration code, and providing context-aware guidance, making onboarding faster and more intuitive.
