Five questions your platform evaluation is missing

In the context of platform evaluations, organizations often fixate on a single application without considering the broader implications for their entire application ecosystem. This oversight can lead to an inflated focus on specific technologies, like a custom CMS, while neglecting the management of hundreds of other applications across various platforms. The text highlights five critical considerations that should be addressed during platform evaluations to ensure a holistic and sustainable infrastructure strategy. These include assessing the percentage of applications that can run on the platform, the fidelity of preview environments to production data, the feasibility of deploying on specific clouds or regions, the alignment of compliance audit scopes with system architectures, and the onboarding implications for new engineers. The text urges evaluators to address these questions proactively to avoid costly migrations and misaligned decisions, emphasizing that a focus on a single application can overshadow more pressing strategic needs.
