Platform engineering: The way to reshape scalable collaboration
This talk will share our story of platform engineering, the idea and practice of platform engineering in a complex large-scale scenario, and why platform engineering is the key to scalable collaborative problem-solving within an enterprise.
Talk abstract
For most enterprises, ensuring the platform and application teams are efficiently collaborating to keep the platform evolving and continuously delivering application value is a long-term challenge. In our past attempts, efforts are often unilateral, and unilateral attempts are usually challenging. For example, the DevOps movement initiated by the application team is typically unsustainable due to the lack of platform skills and support. Scaling is another challenge.
Through our stories you can understand how platform engineering helps:
- Optimize the bilateral cooperation between platform and application teams
- Build reasonable and centralized abstractions for a variety of apps
- Build golden paths for different automation scenarios
