The pitfalls of platform engineering

Send us a text

Darren and Marc highlight the importance of going all in on a platform transformation, emphasizing the need for commitment and investment.

They discuss the shift towards internal developer platforms and the challenges of overcoming ill-defined areas in platform engineering.

The conversation touches on common pitfalls, including the delay in considering security, tooling bias, and the tendency to try to build a perfect system instead of focusing on iteration.

Find out how to address these pitfalls by considering security early on, cultivating a DevOps culture centered around user feedback and positive reinforcement, abandoning the pursuit of a perfect system in favor of iterative development, and adopting all-in-one platforms like GitLab and GitHub.
