What is Platform Engineering?
Platform engineering is the practice of building and maintaining a technology platform, typically a software platform, that supports the development and delivery of other applications and services. The platform typically provides a set of common infrastructure, services, and tools that can be used by other developers to build and deploy their own applications or services. Platform engineering involves designing and building scalable, reliable, and secure platforms that can meet the needs of multiple stakeholders, such as developers, users, and business owners. It also involves implementing best practices around automation, monitoring, testing, and continuous delivery to ensure the platform is stable, efficient, and resilient.
