Description

One part “how did we get here?” combined with views into best practices, links to examples, and “things you should be sure to consider” - I found this a very accessible and educational view into the state of platform engineering.

Comments

The hype felt more like cheerleading for leading software teams as opposed to raw hype. Is that a thing? Good read. 5 stars.
