Personally, I would recommend listening to Thoughtworks' Techonology Podcast. Their approach in general to running in the cloud is a pretty good one, which I'd characterize as platform engineering-centric. Anything Will Larsen writes is bound to be worth looking at and thinking about in the context of scaling cloud operations and operational complexity. His concept of the 'pierceable abstraction' is _absolutely key_ in my opinion. Additionally, the following blog posts are fairly good introductions: https://charity.wtf/2018/10/24/ten-platform-commandments/ https://charity.wtf/2018/10/24/ten-platform-commandments/ https://martinfowler.com/articles/talk-about-platforms.html https://martinfowler.com/articles/talk-about-platforms.html https://lethain.com/pierceable-abstractions/ https://lethain.com/pierceable-abstractions/ https://srvaroa.github.io/paas/infrastructure/platform/kubernetes/cloud/2020/01/02/talk-how-to-build-a-paas-for-1500-engineers.html https://srvaroa.github.io/paas/infrastructure/platform/kuber... Hope that helps - had to dash this off fairly quickly.
