DevOps Is Dead, Long Live Platform Engineering!
summary
The talk critiques the classic DevOps 'you build it, you run it' model and proposes Platform Engineering as its evolution, arguing developers often dislike managing infrastructure like Kubernetes, multi-cloud configs, observability, security, and CI/CD. It explains Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and the role of Platform Engineers in abstracting infrastructure complexity while preserving team autonomy, covers an IDP anatomy, effects on DORA metrics and time-to-market, and includes a live Backstage self-service demo.
