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

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
