1/7 If you read about platform engineering on twitter or reddit, there is still a solid 50% faction that will say, “platform engineering is just DevOps or SRE rebranded”
This couldn’t be more wrong.
6/7 Platform as a Product (and thus platform engineering) is a total flip of this approach.
There is reason that PE is such a huge player in the world of DevEx.
It genuinely has a gigantic impact on improving the day to day of developers
7/7 I’ll be talking all about this at IDPcon with my friends at Cortex
You don’t want to miss it. There is going to be a great roundtable discussion on how this works, it’s challenges, and what we still need to learn👇

And at 55 pages it could pass for a novella, right?
