What is Platform Engineering?
Platform Engineering focuses on designing, building, and maintaining the underlying infrastructure and services that support applications and systems within your organization. It involves creating a stable, scalable, and secure environment that enables development teams to deploy and manage their applications with ease and efficiency.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- Automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure through code. This ensures consistency, repeatability, and scalability in deploying resources.
- Example technologies: Terraform, CDK, OpenTofu.
Continuous Integration (CI/CD)
- Establish automated pipelines that streamline the process of integrating code changes and deploying them to production, ensuring rapid and reliable software delivery.
- Example technologies: Github, Gitlab, Jenkins.
Observability and Monitoring
- Implement tools and practices that provide visibility into system performance, health, and usage. This helps in proactively identifying and resolving issues.
- Example technologies: New Relic, Datadog, Grafana.
Scalability and Performance Optimization
- Design systems that can handle increased load and optimizing performance to provide a seamless user experience.
- Example technologies: RDS Aurora, Autoscaling, Fargate.
What are the benefits of Platform Engineering?
Accelerated Time-to-Market
- Enables the provisioning of new environments and platforms quickly based on re-usable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) designs.
- Helps to spot issues early on, before release, to ensure teams can deliver software quickly with low risk.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency
- Enables organizations to efficiently manage resources in line with budgets and demand.
- Reduces manual intervention, freeing your development team to focus on delivering their software.
Scalability and Flexibility
- Platforms designed with autoscaling and high availability as standard, reducing risk.
- Reduces the likelihood of outages and downtime by embedding fault tolerance early on.
Security and Compliance
- The use of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Containers ensures auditable compliance with business policies.
- Modern security techniques which provide sophisticated, standards compliant security out of the box.
