Developers are frustrated when they need to operate an array of complex, arcane services and tools, in which they aren\u2019t experts.

Operating platforms sit between the end user and the backing services on which they rely. The platform is an internal software product, built by a dedicated team, that provides a curated collection of reusable components, tools, services, and knowledge, packaged for easy consumption. As illustrated below, the platform becomes a layer of abstraction between the developer and the messy complexities of operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53922 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"653\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3.png 653w, https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3-150x105.png 150w, https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3-490x344.png 490w, https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3-114x80.png 114w, https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3-400x281.png 400w, https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3-256x180.png 256w, https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2cdc30f7431d175bb3a6235d38011dc3-71x50.png 71w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 653px) 100vw, 653px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The specific components and capabilities of each platform vary widely. Ultimately, the platform is whatever a development team needs it to be. The platform team\u2019s job is to build that product. Each platform may be unique, but all platforms are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Productized<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The platform is a product. User feedback directs product strategy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>User-centric<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Platforms solve users\u2019 problems, not operators\u2019. For example, developers probably don\u2019t want a fast way to build a VM; they don\u2019t want to think about infrastructure at all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Self-service<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Developers can access everything they need from a single source, without opening tickets, sending emails, or filing requests.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consistent and compliant<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Standards are built in, so that users cannot deliver code that is out-of-spec or insecure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform is a \u201cpaved road\u201d including both guidelines (recommended ways of travelling) and guardrails (hard boundaries the user can\u2019t cross). A platform might <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enforce<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> compliance guardrails: \u201cYou must run these automated tests of your security posture before deploying.\u201d However, it might only <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suggest<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> certain workflows: \u201cWe recommend the following tool for these use cases.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What\u2019s New: Platform Engineering Fulfills the Promises of DevOps<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to distinguish platform engineering from what has come before. Automation is nothing new; nor are calls for better collaboration between developers and operators. A platform goes beyond existing techniques and tools. It is a new software product, with its own customers, lifecycle, user contracts, and lofty expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platform engineering represents the state of the art in DevOps. Not surprisingly, therefore, platform engineering has quickly become the hottest topic of conversation in that world, spawning its own user community and conferences. Gartner named platform engineering a Top Strategic Technology Trend in both 2023 and 2024 and predicts that, by 2026, 80% of large <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/software-engineering\/research\/gartner-score-software-engineering?utm_medium=press-release&amp;utm_campaign=RM_GB_2024_ITSWEL_NPP_PR1_SWENGPRESSRELEASE&amp;utm_term=diagnostic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">software engineering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> organizations will establish platform engineering teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What\u2019s Now: The Platform Revolution Has Begun<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT shops have already begun to implement platform teams. Most start by building an internal developer portal, often using the open-source project Backstage. The portal is a central service catalog and document repository. It can also be a graphical user interface for automations and delivery pipelines. The user experience should be markedly better than whatever homebrew solutions developers have built for themselves. The goal is not to force developers onboard; they should want to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platforms make developers more productive. They free developers from the burden of building out their own operating environments. This allows developers to avoid unnecessary \u201cglue\u201d work and focus on writing code that creates value. When measuring the value of the platform\u2014or making a business case to build one\u2014focus on its positive impact on productivity. Deployment rates should increase; error rates, incidents, exceptions, rework, and time-to-value should all decrease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What\u2019s Next: Platforms Expand and Evangelize<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Platforms start small, often with only documentation and a service catalog. But even this is valuable. It saves developers from having to open tickets or send emails. Over time, the platform grows more capable. In the maximal vision of platform engineering, the platform has its own set of APIs. Developers write to the platform, and its abstractions become load-bearing parts of the application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform can also expand to other users\u2014data scientists, for example, or even business units looking to automate their work. They too will find value in a platform that meets users where they are. A platform team that can provide building blocks that are immediately useful, at an appropriate cognitive load, without unduly constraining users or forcing them into foreign ways of working, provides value now and in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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>The problem is not new: Modern software architectures are complex distributed systems made up of many independent services, many of which are built by other teams or cloud providers.
