How platform engineering works
This may be overly negative to a whole field, but I sometimes feek the platform teams add more hurdles than &quot;stability and velocity&quot;.<p>At places with basically no platform team, no advanced cloud setup etc, I as a dev could understand everything, and deploying mostly meant getting my jar file or whatever running on some ec2 instance.<p>Now I need to write a dockerfile, loads of manifests, know about ingresses, use whatever custom tooling and abstractions they&#x27;ve built on top of the cloud provider.<p>And what used to be a single guy is now a huge team just adding more complexity. And I&#x27;m having a hard time understanding if it&#x27;s worth it, or just a cost sink.
