Anyone who suffered through the “throw it over the wall" to operations model of development knows how big a game changer DevOps was
The idea was revolutionary

2/8 First, what does a platform engineer (PE) actually do? Basically platform engineers provide an integrated product most often referred to as an “Internal Developer Platform” covering the operational necessities of the entire lifecycle of an application💻
3/8: Platform engineers are going to need to work hands-on with software and cloud-native infrastructure, we’re talking AWS, GCP, and Azure. And you want a strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and/or GitOps plus required tooling.
1/9 So wtf actually is “Platform Engineering” you ask, and why do I think it's such a big deal?
