Platform Engineering for Software Developers, Architects, and the Rest of Us
Building on my Platform Con 2022 talk, "From Kubernetes to PaaS to... err, what's next," I aim to summarise the core goals of platform engineering to the software developer and architect communities.
My primary goal is for developers to understand "what good looks like" with a successful platform build and help them understand how a platform can influence the SDLC (for better or worse!)
Key takeaways from the session:
- Identify the core goals of a platform from a business and software delivery perspective
- Explore how platform architecture influences software architecture and vice versa
- Learn why the principles of coupling and cohesion apply to platform components (and configuration) in the same way as they do with software components
- Understand what to expect from an effective platform, including the influence on how applications are built, shipped, and run
- Learn about key platform metrics grounded in developer experience frameworks such as DORA, SPACE, and DevEx
