Скачать или смотреть The Rise of Platform Engineering

This video offers an introductory explanation of platform engineering, presenting it as a crucial development to combat the intense developer burnout caused by the earlier "shift left" approach. It explains that "shift left" unintentionally added a significant mental workload by requiring developers to learn complex areas, such as Kubernetes and security. The solution is "shift down," where platform engineering teams build an "Internal Developer Platform" (IDP) to move infrastructure complexity away from product teams. This IDP serves as a self-service platform, offering standardized tools and "golden paths"—pre-made, user-friendly templates—that enable developers to innovate quickly without having to deal with underlying complexities. The source also mentions that this strategy is becoming the industry norm, with most major companies expected to form dedicated platform teams by 2026 to boost both speed and security.
