The trend is spreading from partner-facing software platforms to using platform architecture with dev teams internally.

✔️Platform engineering helps developers to build faster by creating reusable tools, and self-service capabilities.

Benefits include:

• Rapid product innovation

• Faster delivery

• Higher security and stability

🛠️ Typically platform teams build internal developer portals that include standard components and automated processes for easy consumption by dev teams.

The resulting platform then interfaces with complex underlying infrastructure and helps to build faster on top.

💡 Platform engineering is a response to increasing complexity of software,

but also a promise that with platform architecture new capabilities and products will be built much easier and faster.
