Following the KubeCon 2025 event in Atlanta, a comprehensive report was created by analyzing survey data from over 200 industry professionals, including VPs of R&D, CTOs, and Platform Engineers, to gain insights into the current state of platform engineering. The report explores how platform teams are structured, who is responsible for platform engineering, their customer base, metrics for success, feedback mechanisms, and anticipated focus areas for 2026. In addition to the survey findings, the report offers a range of resources such as templates for roadmaps, requests for proposals (RFPs) for internal developer portals, and AI tools for optimizing development workflows. It also promotes Port, a platform designed to streamline the software development lifecycle and enhance the developer experience by providing a central hub for orchestration and workflow management.
