Cribl has unfurled a data lake specifically designed for storing and automatically normalizing telemetry data in a way that reduces total costs by streamlining workflows. Ed Bailey, principal technical evangelist for Cribl, said the Cribl Lake cloud service provides a unified platform for storing telemetry data that is typically collected by IT operations, DevOps and cybersecurity teams without the need for additional data engineering expertise.
Build vs. Buy: The Platform Engineer’s Conundrum - Platform Engineering

1 month ago | platformengineering.com | Will Stewart

Congratulations—you’ve either built a platform or you’re deep into the process of creating one. But here’s the uncomfortable reality: Many engineering teams conflate “building the platform” with the ultimate goal. We get so wrapped up in the technical details—scripting everything in YAML, wrestling with container orchestration, navigating Kubernetes, setting up custom monitoring dashboards—that we lose sight of what really matters.
AI-Driven Platforms: Transforming Engineering Workflows

1 month ago | platformengineering.com | Nathan Eddy

Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping to revolutionize platform engineering by automating critical workflows such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), system observability and resource allocation. However, while AI offers significant efficiency gains, it also raises concerns about transparency, reliability and the role of human oversight.
Making Observability Work: How Platform Engineers Can Improve Monitoring

2 months ago | platformengineering.com | Nathan Eddy

Observability has become a critical component of modern platform engineering, allowing teams to diagnose issues, optimize performance and maintain system reliability. Unlike traditional monitoring, which alerts teams when something breaks, observability provides deeper insights into why failures occur and how systems behave under various conditions.

Platform engineering is emerging as the key to scaling DevOps practices through self-service capabilities, according to Andi Grabner, Platform Engineering Advocate at Dynatrace. The focus is on delivering the right data to the right people at the right time. At Dynatrace Perform 2025, the company introduced Observability for Developers, providing development teams with easy data access, advanced analytics and the new Live Debugger.
Security at Scale: Embedding Zero Trust in Platform Design

2 months ago | platformengineering.com | Amanda Razani

As enterprise platforms grow in complexity, securing them requires a shift from traditional perimeter-based security to a zero trust model, where every access request is authenticated, authorized and continuously validated. This approach mitigates risks like lateral movement within networks and ensures sensitive data remains protected.
