Until recently, infrastructure was the backbone of organizations operating software they developed in-house. But now that cloud vendors run the computers, companies can finally bring the benefits of agile custom-centricity to their own developers. Adding product management to infrastructure organizations is now all the rage. But how’s that possible when infrastructure is still the operational layer of the company? This practical book guides engineers, managers, product managers, and leaders through the shifts that modern platform-led organizations require. You’ll learn what platform engineering is–and isn’t–and what benefits and value it brings to developers and teams. You’ll understand what it means to approach a platform as a product and learn some of the most common technical and managerial barriers to success. Finally, this book is really for anyone interested in learning how to make platform engineering work beyond the technical implementation details. Whether you are at a startup wondering when to start, a big company thinking about moving from infrastructure engineering to platform engineering, or anywhere in between, this book is for you.
