Why Platform Engineering Matters More Than Ever
Product teams move faster when the platform is boring: clear templates, automated guardrails, and measurable service health—not heroics.
Platform work is not “extra infrastructure.” It is the contract between product speed and operational risk.
Invest in golden paths: one supported way to ship, observe, and roll back—then enforce with compassion and metrics.
Treat internal platforms like products: SLAs, roadmaps, and feedback loops with engineering leads—not just tickets.
