Platform Engineering Foundations

The software delivery lifecycle has only increased in complexity over the years, along with the infrastructure that supports enterprise systems. Developers now find themselves responsible for an ever-growing list of supporting systems to develop, deploy, and operate software in production. Platform engineering is compelling in its similarity to DevOps and site reliability engineering, while still being focused specifically on platforms. Platform engineers combine platform expertise with software engineering skills to provide developers with best practices for referencing code, automating processes, writing documentation, and more. In this course, instructor Dave Swersky guides you through the fundamentals of platform engineering and how it can benefit you and your company. Along the way, discover a wide range of options to adopt and adapt platform engineering solutions to any type of enterprise.
