Platform engineers lack the tools, processes, and mindset to unleash the power of their teams when dealing with databases.
They lack tools that enable developers to work with databases independently and seamlessly integrate with their environments, CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, and other development tools.
Monitoring solutions overload developers with unnecessary data, making it harder for them to gain meaningful insights. They need solutions that can provide comprehensive understanding and context when issues arise.
Platform engineers should focus on automation and self-service platforms, allowing developers to resolve issues independently and boost development speed.
