Platform Engineering should be part of DevOps

Platform Engineering should be integrated with DevOps to avoid creating silos and to enhance software delivery performance by leveraging insights from DevOps research. The original goal of DevOps was to eliminate the barriers between development and operations, but without collaboration, Platform Engineering can inadvertently form new silos. Over the past decade, research by the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) has provided valuable metrics and approaches to improve software delivery, performance, and user satisfaction. A platform that neglects DevOps principles may suffer from issues like delayed feedback, infrequent releases, and low user relevance. Therefore, incorporating DevOps learnings into Platform Engineering, such as using MONK and DevEx metrics and closely collaborating with users, is crucial for achieving desired outcomes and preventing a regression to pre-DevOps silos.
