A conference talk by ING's lead for infrastructure transformation outlining three laws of scalable engineering: standardization across products and platforms, standardized contracts leveraging open source, and building effective golden paths for automated delivery. The speaker describes ING's 'One Engineering System' — a unified stack spanning an internal developer platform (Backstage-based), standardized CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps), and a private cloud container platform (ICP/Nova built on Kubernetes and the CNCF ecosystem). Key themes include treating code as a liability, embedding security into every engineering step, managing organizational complexity alongside technical complexity, and treating open source contribution as a strategic imperative. AI is also mentioned as an emerging enabler for automatic programming, live documentation, and day-to-day operations.
