The DevOps world has a new sibling: PlatformEngineering.com. As the latest addition to the Techstrong Group family, this site aims to be the premier resource for the platform engineering community. The launch signals an important milestone in the journey of platform engineering, a discipline that has evolved to complement and enhance DevOps practices.
Platform Engineering: A Natural Evolution of DevOps
Platform engineering has grown from a niche concept to a crucial component of modern software delivery. While some have framed platform engineering as a successor to DevOps, this perspective misses the bigger picture. DevOps remains foundational, with platform engineering enriching its ecosystem by focusing on creating self-service capabilities, streamlining developer workflows and enabling scalable, secure environments.
Rather than competing, platform engineering and DevOps work in concert, along with Agile, ITSM, DevSecOps and emerging frameworks like AI-driven development. Together, these practices form the modern software factory, optimizing every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Breaking Silos: The Techstrong Approach
PlatformEngineering.com will not operate in isolation. As part of the Techstrong family, it shares a commitment to breaking down silos between different disciplines. Readers can expect cross-pollination of content between PlatformEngineering.com and sister sites like DevOps.com, Cloud Native Now and Security Boulevard.
This interconnected approach mirrors the very essence of DevOps—fostering collaboration across traditionally siloed teams. By centralizing platform engineering content while maintaining ties to DevOps and cloud-native practices, PlatformEngineering.com positions itself as a holistic resource for practitioners.
A Big Tent for the Community
One of the hallmarks of Techstrong sites is their inclusivity. PlatformEngineering.com invites contributions from all corners of the platform engineering and DevOps communities. Whether your focus is on cloud-native technologies, open-source tools, or proprietary solutions, there’s a place for your voice.
From thought leadership articles and case studies to webinars and podcasts, the platform promises a wide range of content tailored to both beginners and seasoned professionals.
Why Platform Engineering Matters
In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, organizations must deliver faster, safer and more scalable solutions. Platform engineering plays a pivotal role by providing the underlying infrastructure and tools that empower development teams.
By offering self-service portals, automating routine tasks and ensuring consistency across environments, platform engineering enables developers to focus on what they do best: Writing and deploying code. This aligns perfectly with the DevOps ethos of accelerating delivery cycles without compromising quality or security.
