What is Platform Engineering?
Building internal platforms that enable development teams to deliver software faster and more reliably.
Platform engineering is the discipline of designing, building, and maintaining internal developer platforms that provide self-service capabilities for application teams. These platforms abstract away infrastructure complexity, standardize tooling, and provide paved paths for common development tasks. The goal is to enable development teams to deliver software faster and more reliably without becoming infrastructure experts.
