If you're a fan of my threads on #PlatformEngineering, I have some really exciting news for you... 🧵
After a few months of combing through #PlatformCon talks for the best platform engineering insights, surveying the folks in our community, and digging deep into the best resources we could find...

It's finally here. 🥁🥁🥁
The first State of #PlatformEngineering Report is live! 🎉

We dove into the hottest topics, like:
✅The emergence of platform engineering

If you've been following my series on platform engineering topics, some of the sections might seem a bit familiar.

But this report dives in deeper than one possibly could in a Twitter thread. 🪂

So definitely check it out. It's a quick, effective read that'll get you up to speed on the platform engineering hype.

And, as always, let me know what you think. I'm all ears. 😉

If you're doing #DevOps, here are a few things you can do to make your setup better and life easier:

* Optimize for cognitive load
* Golden paths over golden cages
* Solve common problems
* Be glue friends

Let's discuss 🧵
1/ Optimize for cognitive load

I've covered the issue of cognitive (over)load arising from #DevOps done poorly more times than I can count.

Ultimately, your org has to figure out what your devs can (and want to!) handle.

If cognitive load is too high, your devs will either struggle to complete all of their tasks or resent the hell out of you (or both!).

So your setup really needs to keep the issue of cognitive load at the forefront.

Take a look at these poll results.

And imagine trying to force a one-size-fits-all approach onto you team.

It would be (and often is) a disaster 🧵 Image
BUT.

“This is the niche where platform engineering and internal developer platforms are striking: In an ideal '#DevOps done right' world the devs should be able to self-service themselves the resources they need without needing to learn that much on the operations side.”

Devs… be real with me. Do y’all want to do Ops? 🧵
Poll inspired by this lovely article from @InfoWorld:

And look. I think dev self-service is a good and *essential* aspect of a successful setup.

I appreciate how DevOps brings that concern to the forefront.

BUT (and this is BIG)

With the increasing complexity of the cloud-native world, DevOps can be too much pressure.

If you're a platform engineer, there are some "trending" conversations you should be aware of:

* The cognitive (over)load resulting from true #DevOps
* Platform as a product
* Finding the right level of abstraction

Let's discuss 🧵
This thread is courtesy of this #PlatformCon recap from @aeraeris. If you missed the conference, definitely check this out:

The first convo is about cognitive (over)load. 🧠

I covered this a bit last week. If you haven't seen this thread yet, it's a pretty comprehensive overview:
