The Rise of Platform Engineering -- AWSInsider

The Rise of Platform Engineering

Date: Tuesday, February 11^th at 8am PT / 11am ET

It has now been 15 years since the introduction of DevOps as a framework for building agile technology operations. In that time, the concept has undergone significant evolution, and there are now as many permutations of DevOps as there are organizations professing to practice it.

While originally, the focus was on enabling front-line application development teams to maximize velocity by self-servicing as much traditional IT overhead (software packaging, infrastructure, networking, security, identity) as possible, this speed came at a cost of decreased visibility, obfuscated risk, and higher software complexity leading to hidden technical debt.

Recent years have seen a shift, not back to legacy centralized IT operations, but toward the discipline of Platform Engineering, which combines the agility of DevOps with a focus on consistency and repeatability of the developer experience through building paved roads (opinionated defaults) for app-dev teams to drive on.

Join Snyk, the leader in Developer Security, as we discuss the latest developments in the rise of Platform Engineering, including:

Who is the Platform Engineer persona and how is it different from DevOps Engineering? What are the goals and pain points of PE?
How can Platform Engineering provide both better Developer Experience and organizational assurance than traditional DevOps?
What makes an effective Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and how can it be used to drive consistency, visibility, and lower technical debt?
What is the role of Application Security in mature Platform Engineering organizations?
How can a robust Platform Engineering practice help companies move toward Secure By Design principles?
