Platform Engineering Isn't DevOps

Platform engineering is the new hotness, because now we have a good term for something you may already be doing in an informal way for your organization. By applying a formal label, you can establish best practices, learn from others in the community, and incorporate platform engineering focused products into your practice.

There's been a lot of hype, marketing pushes, and misinformation about what platform engineering is and what it isn't. So today I wanted to talk about three things that platform engineering isn't.

We'll cover how:

⛔ Platform Engineering Isn't DevOps
⛔ Platform Engineering Isn't a Developer Portal
⛔ Platform Engineering Isn't Kubernetes

So what is platform engineering? It is the practice of building and maintaining a platform that application teams can use to deploy their applications. It's a set of services that are offered to application teams to help them deploy their applications in a consistent and reliable manner. It's both the platform that is offered and the team that builds and maintains it. The platform as a whole is a product that is offered to application teams to help them deploy their applications.

Great explanation. Always is confusion about the use of these Cultures or practices to catch the public attention and give info about a product or something like that. Your explanation showed that we already have been doing these things in our routine. So, this is amazing

I am doing this "Platform Engineering" for 26 years I really don't understand how this looks so new and hotness

[jakubiwanczuk]

It aligns well with the thoughts I have on that subject. Great explanation. in my opinion.

You need to post this to r/devops and watch the ECODOECJ (Echo Chamber of DevOps Engineer Circle J*rking) explode.
Yes, I'm in that mood today. Last days of Vacation. 🤷‍♂
