You may have heard about platform engineering, a new term adding itself to the already crowded set of roles in the development and DevOps world. In this post, we’ll cover platform engineering, how it differs from DevOps, why you might consider investing into platform engineering, and who needs platform engineering skills. Platform engineering is the process of designing, building, and maintaining workflows and tools for software engineering organizations to drive consistency and speed up common tasks.
