Platform engineering aims to enhance software development by linking necessary tools and capabilities with developers, who are regarded as the 'customers', to improve productivity and quality culture. Building on DevOps, platform engineering seeks to streamline the software development lifecycle by addressing security, costs, and compliance through better developer experiences and productivity. It achieves this by providing an internal developer platform with standardized workflows, reusable tools, and self-service capabilities. The central feature of this approach is the internal developer portal, which acts as a hub for all necessary tools and documentation, simplifying developer tasks and reducing complexity. While platform engineering offers benefits like faster problem resolution, increased scalability, and reduced costs, it also faces challenges such as ensuring user-focused design and overcoming the complexity of the platform itself. The movement addresses the limitations of DevOps by reducing the cognitive load on developers and improving collaboration between teams, ultimately fostering a more efficient and agile development environment.
