## Topics (3 Notes)

- How do you account for all time spent by the platform team and not just development?
- Themes - CNCF Landscape subgroups
- What kinds of themes would be good for future coffee discussions? Artifacts?, what else?

## Done (7 Notes)

- Releases vs Deployments  
- Is there a point where you finally have a great platform?
-  Thoughts on using event-driven scaling, specifically Keda in kubernetes clusters?  Feature differences vs HPA.  Any "gotchas"?
- Have you provided agile coaches to your platform teams, and did you receive the intended value?  
- How do you end meetings on time? I'm too polite and it takes me way too long!
- Platform engineering without the cloud - onprem/repatriation
- Should you have a dedicated product manager for the platform? Can someone on the team take it on?
