Engineering for Productivity – DevOps Was Just the Beginning
summary
DevOps established flow, feedback and learning and moved ownership into teams, but Kubernetes, microservices and toolchains raised cognitive load. Claim: Genai eliminates the build bottleneck, accelerating code, tests and docs generation — but the bottleneck shifts to validate (security scans, compliance gates, release approvals). Platform engineering builds self‑service abstractions with telemetry, platform teams deliver golden paths, policies‑as‑code and mandatory CVE scanning so regulated orgs like Signal Duna get compliance in the flow while keeping human exception decisions. Results: less cognitive load, faster end‑to‑end value delivery.
