"Platform engineering has to be approached from a socio-technical perspective, and shaped by all stakeholders, not just developers. Platform success depends on written principles that endure change while embracing change as the main design force."
"In the financial world, there is a clear set of KPIs for measuring the success of every initiative or project. Unfortunately, that is not true for platform engineering."
"The purpose, role, and impact of platforms have to be much better understood by the industry. Very rarely, though, we'll have a deep understanding of the holistic impact on all stakeholders."
"Platform engineering is defined as a socio-technical set of practices that prioritises experience over tool-selection freedom to better serve the whole organisation."
Platform engineering must be approached from a socio-technical perspective, involving all stakeholders, not just developers. Success relies on principles that adapt to change, enabling efficient software development. The industry lacks clear KPIs for platform success, often measuring from a single stakeholder viewpoint. A comprehensive understanding of platforms' roles and impacts is essential. Platform engineering prioritizes experience over tool selection, influenced by various stakeholders, including security and compliance, rather than solely developers.
