"Platform engineering is an emerging technology approach that can accelerate the delivery of applications and the pace at which they produce business value.
Platform engineering improves developer experience and productivity by providing self-service capabilities with automated infrastructure operations. Platform engineering is trending because of its promise to optimize the developer experience and accelerate product teams’ delivery of customer value."
