The Guide to Platform Engineering: 7 Steps to Get It Right

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations are increasingly adopting platform engineering to optimize their software delivery and operations. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will have platform engineering teams to provide reusable services, components, and tools for application delivery. Additionally, by 2027, 80% of large enterprises will leverage platform engineering to scale DevOps initiatives in hybrid cloud environments effectively.

This shift is driven by the rise of cloud adoption, where many enterprises face the challenge of uncoordinated application teams deploying workloads in different ways across various cloud platforms. This siloed approach often results in a lack of standardization, security risks, and operational inefficiencies.

Platform engineering offers a strategic solution to these issues. This guide provides the essential steps to successfully implement platform engineering, from laying the foundation to scaling internal developer platforms (IDPs) for future growth.
