Summary

Platform Orchestration is a relatively new concept that involves a platform orchestrator dynamically updating application and infrastructure configurations based on workload requirements and provided resources. This approach reduces configuration surface area, eliminates the need for custom resource configurations, and enables near complete freedom in infrastructure choice. By abstracting away complexity, Platform Orchestration promises to reduce operational costs, increase efficiency, and enable more frequent deployments, ultimately leading to a shift from traditional reactive operations teams to proactive platform engineering teams. The implications of this technology are significant, including increased innovation, reduced waiting times, and a decrease in the need for proprietary serverless layers, with the benefits likely to be realized by companies that adopt an efficient operating model, GTM model, developer experience, and own the leading Platform Orchestration system.
