Kartik Vishwanath

Kartik Vishwanath leads Hubspot's Platform Infrastructure organization, which comprises five product groups: Data Infrastructure, Developer Acceleration, Frontend platform, Platform as a Service (Build, Deploy, Service Mesh, Compute), and Platform Reliability (SRE).

Over the years, Kartik has invested significantly in building and buying a platform that can enable over 200 small, autonomous product engineering teams to move quickly. To give a sense of scale, the HubSpot application platform is made up of over 15,000 components that are deployed 3,000+ times a day. The systems make hundreds of billions of requests per day to HBase, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and MySQL. All of this happens on a platform that the engineering team loves - they conduct a yearly survey, and the NPS scores for the platform tools range between 45 and 70.
