Platform Engineers Must Change Developers and Databases - And Here Is How

We went through a big transformation in recent decades, we learned how to deliver the software better, and we devised new practices and patterns to streamline the work between the teams. However, the current software development lifecycle (SDLC) is still far from being perfect. Teams spend much time on the handoffs of the artifacts. They communicate inefficiently, and they lack proper checks early in the pipeline. Platform Engineers can reshape the industry by pushing left guardrails to protect production, however, they need to have proper tools and processes. In this article, we are going to see what Platform Engineers can do to make Developers’ lives better.
