You’re Doing Platform Engineering Wrong. Probably.

May 21, 2024 | thenewstack.io | Luca Galante |Stephen Batifol |Heather Joslyn |Ben Chambers

So you are convinced, and your boss is also on board. You both read the latest DevOps and State of Platform Engineering reports; you visited KubeCon and spoke about it with half the vendors there. You even attended an exec roundtable on the topic with other practitioners in your industry. The decision is finally official: You are getting started on your platform engineering journey.
Keep your secrets. Using the Humanitec Operator | Humanitec

May 16, 2024 | humanitec.com | Luca Galante

Platform engineering promises to enable enterprises to ship software faster, while making their setup more secure and compliant in the process. Developers can self-serve the infrastructure they need without having to wait for operations teams. Ops and platform teams can define clear configuration templates and golden paths that are automatically enforced by the platform (or the Platform Orchestrator, to be specific). Sounds great right? And it is.
Internal Developer Platform vs. Internal Developer Portal: What's Up?

I’m sure you can very easily guess what everyone has been talking about at tech events such as KubeCon Paris and Google Next 24 recently. Yes, AI of course. Hard to beat that one this year. But it was very interesting (and exciting) to see so many sessions and conversations covering the second most discussed trend (by miles vs. everything else): platform engineering.
Scaling GitOps for the enterprise with an IDP | Humanitec

May 2, 2024 | humanitec.com | Luca Galante

Adoption of containers and container orchestrators is still very much on the vertical part of the exponential s-curve, with a growing amount of engineering organizations, including very large enterprises, moving most of their workloads to different flavors of Kubernetes (on prem, self-managed, managed-services). This creates the need for increasingly safer ways of handling application and infrastructure configurations, improving the overall security of delivery setups.
This Is Why Infra Teams Should Care About Platform Engineering

May 1, 2024 | thenewstack.io | Luca Galante |Jon Udell |Oladimeji Sowole |Eric Newcomer

A growing number of infrastructure teams, especially in the enterprise, are increasingly under pressure, bringing many engineering organizations to the brink of an operational collapse. The majority of these infra teams were tasked years ago with modernization and cloud-migration initiatives that often got stuck halfway.
Your Engineering Organization Is Too Expensive

Apr 17, 2024 | thenewstack.io | Luca Galante |David Cassel |Mary Branscombe

As central banks worldwide embark on a crusade against inflation, there’s still a lot of uncertainty about the state of the global economy and where prices (and costs) will go from here. Engineering organizations are facing increased operating expenses (OpEx) on multiple fronts. Cloud costs are growing across all major providers, with Azure and Microsoft Cloud raising prices 15% year-over-year (YoY) in 2023.
