About the Book

Build the kind of software engineering platforms developers love to use! An effective developer platform means one thing: productivity. Effective Platform Engineering introduces platform engineering as a discipline, teaching you what goes into a great developer platform and then showing you how to develop your own. In Effective Platform Engineering, you'll learn to deliver: - Improved business outcomes - Product management strategies - Secure, scalable Kubernetes-based engineering platforms - Effective Service Level Objectives to boost trust and adoption - Modern control plane patterns that streamline developer workflows Effective Platform Engineering shows you how to establish and administer the kind of platforms that reduce a dev team's workload, improve consistency, and accelerate software delivery. Organized in three parts--foundations, building, and scaling--it blends mental models, patterns, and runnable examples to help you go from MVP to production-grade platform. You'll learn how to treat platforms as products and demonstrate their value by improving engineering outcomes and delivering measurable business impact. You'll love the book's informed guidance and practical insights on satisfying stakeholders and driving organizational success. Foreword by Kief Morris. About the technology Platform engineering is the discipline of building internal developer platforms (IDPs) that automate and simplify the software development lifecycle. IDPs provide self-service interfaces to tools and services for infrastructure, deployment, security, observability, and governance, and reduce the need for developers to master complex technologies like Kubernetes. Because they match the specific needs of an organization, well-engineered IDPs can reduce development time by half while delivering better software. About the book With Effective Platform Engineering you'll be able to design, build, deploy, and scale a custom IDP. You'll discover how platform engineering differs from DevOps and learn to create a platform that evolves with changing requirements. Diagrams, code samples, and exercises help you visualize important concepts. Along the way, you'll explore critical topics like gathering requirements and establishing realistic service level agreements (SLAs). What's inside - Automated application workflows - Scalable Kubernetes-based platforms - A well-designed control plane - Custom APIs About the reader For software engineers, SREs, and DevOps engineers.
