The platform engineering guy. 👾 I ask the best dev teams about their DevOps practices. Then I tweet about it. Product @Humanitec_com, Baker @ Platform Weekly

1/9 DevOps is not platform engineering, and platform engineering is not DevOps

I see a lot of confusion on this topic and so want to break it all down. What actually is #platformengineering?

And why do I think it's going to change everything?

A thread👇 2/9 First, what actually is DevOps?🤔

Simply, DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, & tools that increases an orgs ability to deliver apps & services at high velocity

It’s not some next level dev, or super engineer. It’s a set of practices and tools

1/8: Alright, so you’ve seen that platform engineers can make 20% more than DevOps on average, and you want in.

But how do you actually become a platform engineer? A thread👇

#PlatformEngineering #DevOpsCommunity 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💻

1/9 So wtf actually is “Platform Engineering” you ask, and why do I think it's such a big deal?

Enter the definitive thread on platform engineering👇

#PlatformEngineering #DevOps 2/9 🚀 So first, let’s do the what - basically, platform engineering (PE) is the discipline of designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for engineering organizations in the cloud-native era 🌩️

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. 🥁🥁🥁

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.

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.”

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:
