I think Platform Engineering is meant to die. If services like AWS or GCP were user friendly (from the perspective of product engineers) then we wouldn’t need platform engineers (or at least we would need orders of magnitude fewer platform engineers). The industry is young, though, that’s why I think we have the figure of the platform engineer.
Could you imagine having a Compiler Engineer define APIs and quotas so that you can use a compiler? Of course no. We can use compilers directly because they are mature software.
