Build the kind of software engineering platforms developers love to use!

An effective developer platform means one thing: productivity. Effective Platform Engineering introduces platform engineering as a discipline, teaching you what goes into a great developer platform and then showing you how to develop your own.

In Effective Platform Engineering, you’ll learn to deliver

Improved business outcomes
Product management strategies
Secure, scalable Kubernetes-based engineering platforms
Effective Service Level Objectives to boost trust and adoption
Modern control plane patterns that streamline developer workflows

About the Technology
Platform engineering is the discipline of building internal developer platforms (IDPs) that automate and simplify the software development lifecycle. IDPs provide self-service interfaces to tools and services for infrastructure, deployment, security, observability, and governance, and reduce the need for developers to master complex technologies like Kubernetes. Because they match the specific needs of an organization, well-engineered IDPs can reduce development time by half while delivering better software.

About the Book
With Effective Platform Engineering you’ll be able to design, build, deploy, and scale a custom IDP. You’ll discover how platform engineering differs from DevOps and learn to create a platform that evolves with changing requirements. Diagrams, code samples, and exercises help you visualize important concepts. Along the way, you’ll explore critical topics like gathering requirements and establishing realistic service level agreements (SLAs).
