Platform engineering is the discipline of designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for software engineering organizations in the cloud-native era.

Platform Engineering

I think many people are here for the Platform hype and to get help with the big things, such as IDPs and to learn more about the ideas gaining in popularity.

That being said, there probably is room here for a community of platform folx to share ideas. Perhaps something here will resonate with a wider audience.

I haven’t spent much time with Rust, I’m curious to look at your code though.

<@U04LR27JYLB> That was my sense as well. If you’d like a Java version the one I wrote at a former employer, which this rust lib is based on, is here: <https://github.com/urbanairship/sarlacc-pit>. IMO the rust one is better, largely because I was able to take what I learned writing and using the Java version and apply it to a green field.

For some context on why I think folks might be interested, here’s an example sketch of functionality allowing changes to a class of configs cluster wide in ~10s with a push to `main` on Github, with no additional deploy or instance-restarts: <https://github.com/hkolbeck/mirror-cache/blob/main/examples/dynamically-updating-configs/src/main.rs>
