We\u2019ve got an industry-wide shortage of skilled software development and operations talent\u2014and the complexity of cloud native development is exacerbating the problem. We\u2019re not going to hire our way out of this mess!<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Skill shortages stymie cloud native innovation<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even non-technical executives now understand the basic benefits of cloud native software. They know it has something to do with Kubernetes pushing out containers, so the resulting applications are more modular and take advantage of elastic cloud infrastructures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s way more to it than that. The cloud native <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/landscape.cncf.io\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">landscape<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a beehive of open-source projects for configuration, networking, security, data handling, service mesh \u2013 at various maturity stages. There are also hundreds of vendors offering their development, management and support tools atop this ever-moving CN raft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A developer\u2019s learning curve is steep and continuous, since this year\u2019s stack might no longer be relevant next year. Outsourcing is tough too, when the few consultants with a real knack for cloud native development are busy and expensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only way to sustainably grow is through building cloud native development talent and capabilities from within, following the introduction and maturation of the space, as well as keeping tabs on the vendor and end user community at large.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the market demand for digital offerings keeps doubling every couple years, IT budgets often get a budget belt-tightening as a reward for managing and scaling so much technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller and leaner teams are expected to deliver twice the output with half the people. The need for specialized skill positions only increases as concepts like event-driven architecture, data lakehouses, real-time analytics, and zero-trust security policies turn into production-grade requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Why platform engineering matters<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what target environment they are contributing to, developers still spend most of their time coding within an IDE. Over the years,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vendors have tried everything from low-code tools to process toolkits to lower the skills bar, but the pipelines don\u2019t translate into easy wizards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complex open-source tooling, third party service APIs, and code that is being mixed and matched from GitOps-style repos are driving cloud native development teams toward a new platform engineering approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Platform engineering<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> practices seek to create shared resources for development environments\u2013encouraging code, component, and configuration reuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common platform engineering environments can be represented within a self-service internal development portal or an external partner marketplace, often accompanied by concierge-style support or advisory services from an expert team that curates and reviews all elements in the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s critical to govern the platform\u2019s self-service policies for access permissions, code, logic, data, and automation at just the right level of control for the business it supports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too much flexibility ends up creating overhead, as diverse stakeholders fail to distinguish between the relative value or usefulness of so many unvalidated and poorly categorized components of the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too much rigidity in policy design can create the opposite problem, where centralized governance and approval cycles for every element slow down solution delivery and take away the innovative freedom developers crave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A modern approach to cloud native platform engineering can finally bring the principles of governance, consistency and reuse to the table.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Speedy innovation through infrastructure abstraction<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refreshingly\u2014or maddeningly\u2014there\u2019s no single right way to \u2018do\u2019 cloud native. Even Kubernetes is by itself just an abstraction of container orchestration and only one option for going cloud native.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an open-source movement, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cncf.io\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CNCF<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> purposely leaves the future approach open to interpretation by the community. It doesn\u2019t dictate a particular language, or even a specific piece of infrastructure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s excellent, but it also leaves short-handed dev teams managing complex plumbing and experimenting with integration options, rather than building better functionality. That\u2019s where platform engineering practices can save the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The decision to create a platform is a commitment to help developers of varying skill levels abstract away the complexity of underlying cloud native architectures with interfaces and tools atop readily configured environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A platform engineering approach must offer ease of use, elimination of toil, and reduced cognitive load for development teams\u2014helping orgs attract and retain the best talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Intellyx Take<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truly innovative ideas that impact customers represent a core competitive differentiator, and should grow from within the enterprise. That\u2019s difficult when the supply of skilled cloud native development resources is constrained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, platform engineering organizations and technology stacks can automate some of the most difficult work of delivering on the needs of API-driven microservices environments. <\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud native technologies\u2014with their malleable, modular microservice architectures\u2014quickly generate transformative digital innovations that deliver high-demand customer capabilities and operational value breakthroughs.\u00a0 But wait, how many Kubernetes experts do we have?
