Platform Engineering is Domain Driven Design
summary
Argues that developer platforms succeed only when they expose a domain-specific language that hides infrastructure detail and composes into automation. Shows how that DSL compiles to cloud automation and reference architectures to enforce compliance while preserving optionality, and explains how golden path templates become just one output of the language rather than the whole platform. Emphasizes developers hitting cognitive limits when platforms surface raw cloud complexity instead of a coherent vocabulary.
