What would you do with 8,000 extra hours? Turning infrastructure into a strategic advantage at Benchling

Join Christian Monaghan, senior infrastructure engineer at Benchling, in a fireside chat with Jake Lundberg, Field CTO at HashiCorp, as they explore how Benchling scaled Terraform to support rapid growth, drive platform consistency, and improve governance across a fast-moving engineering organization.

This conversation will cover Benchling’s evolution from decentralized Terraform usage to a unified, modular, and automated infrastructure-as-code approach. Christian will share how the team built reusable patterns, streamlined onboarding through CI/CD integrations, and enforced consistency across teams—without sacrificing velocity or security. You’ll hear practical insights into the organizational, architectural, and cultural shifts that enabled Benchling to align infrastructure operations with business priorities around cost, security, and continuity.

Whether you’re scaling Terraform adoption or building an internal platform to accelerate innovation, this session will offer real-world strategies for doing it right.
