Platform engineering is a tech approach boosting app delivery and business value via self-service tools and automated infrastructure operations.
It responds to the complexity of modern software architectures, alleviating the burden on non-expert end users managing intricate services.
By 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations are expected to establish platform engineering teams, acting as internal providers of reusable services and tools.
Platform engineering involves dedicated product teams creating tailored engineering platforms, often starting with internal developer portals. The goal is to provide a seamless, self-service experience for developers and streamline the software development process.
