Platform Engineering vs DevOps
In the last few years we have seen a rise in the usage of the term Platform Engineering, but what does that actually mean and how does it compare to DevOps?
In this talk I will present what these both mean to me as someone who has been a "DevOps" engineer and is now a Platform Engineer. I'll talk about the "Platform Engineering Iceberg" showing how what appears to be a simple term hides a mass of complexity and challenges. And to wrap it up I'll talk about Developer Experience and how that ties into all of this.
