My latest job title was platform engineer. Honestly it felt like a hack of all trades role. I was doing everything from k8s tf etc deployments observability monitoring to writing backend services running analytical queries and building UIs while managing their entire lifecycle. Really fun, enjoyed the heck out of it because every day I was learning and doing something new and interesting. 11/10 would recommend. Not sure if that’s what platform engineering is generally considered to be.
- gtirloni 3y agoI think that's it but what matters is if your team was exposing a platform that made the hugely complex infrastructure more amenable to developers, while helping people to stay on the golden paths of reliability, monitoring, etc. It also helps the organization to enforce some standards centrally. What happens behind that interface can be chaotic for sure.
