Infrastructure-as-Code adoption has stalled. Fifteen years in, only ~13-30% of companies have truly succeeded with IaC.
What’s blocking the rest of organizations?

Funny how it’s always framed as “on the path to AGI,” yet none of these AI CEOs explain what actual value AGI would bring relative to the time, effort, and resources poured into “achieving” it.
Maybe that’s because, existentially, it provides none.
In the latest episode of the Platform Engineering Podcast, Mark Fussell, co-creator of Dapr, shares with @coryodaniel how Dapr simplifies distributed systems with clean abstractions, enabling portable applications without sacrificing cloud-native power.
Learn about its sidecar architecture, how it tackles tight coupling, and handles cross-cutting concerns like security, observability, and resiliency.
Plus, explore Dapr's workflow engine for durable execution and stateful AI agents. Whether you're a platform engineer battling cloud lock-in or a developer tired of rewriting code, this episode is for you.
