Beyond Platform Engineering
summary
Argues that something after platform engineering emerges as an extension of DevOps, combining observability 2.0 (single source of truth via OpenTelemetry), AI as a co‑pilot for diagnostics, and hybrid clouds with policy‑as‑code for security. Cites HashiCorp’s Infrastructure Cloud, observability for CI/CD pipelines, and Kelsey Hightower’s hope for Kubernetes alternatives. Proposes a community name and prototype concept — voted Cloud Gardener — and frames the successor as tooling + practices that reduce custom integration and speed reliable delivery.
