Platform Engineering for Software Developers and Architects

Explore platform engineering fundamentals through a developer and architect perspective in this 34-minute CNCF conference talk. Learn how platform architecture and software architecture influence each other, with emphasis on coupling and cohesion principles applied to both platform components and configuration. Discover the characteristics of effective platforms, including application lifecycle management from build to deployment to operations. Gain insights into measuring platform success using developer experience frameworks like DORA, SPACE, and DevEx, building upon concepts from KubeCon EU 2022's exploration of the evolution from Kubernetes to PaaS and beyond.
