In the ongoing debate between centralization and decentralization within the DevOps landscape, businesses face challenges in balancing innovation with cost efficiency, often leading to duplicated efforts and inconsistent practices across autonomous teams. To address these issues, the emergence of platform teams is highlighted as a solution that provides foundational technologies necessary for building and managing business-critical applications. These teams are responsible for the oversight of components such as Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability tools, and they must carefully decide between open-source, commercially supported, or proprietary tools to meet organizational needs. Despite the advantages, implementing platform tools that support scalable deployment models and organizational requirements remains challenging, as many leading technologies lack features like multi-tenancy and quota control. While some cloud providers and tools like AppDynamics and Dynatrace support these capabilities, others, including popular observability tools, fall short, underscoring the importance of understanding specific organizational needs before choosing an observability platform.
