Will the results of this survey be available publicly?

Fantastic data. Worth noting that when Cloud, DevOps and Cloud Native first took off the folks who moved into those jobs/roles made significantly more than those who didnt for a while. It tended to stabilize after a few years (with obvious outliers) Source; industry data from HR firms at prior jobs.

I didn't see security as a a main area of focus. Which makes me wonder, in an org with a platform engineering team, who does security?

@Oshrat Nir, you are right. But it seems the community herders are thinking about this more now, so I won’t be suprised security features prominently in the next survey. I just received this week’s issue of the platform newsletter and it was about how platform engineering relates to security. Here’s an excerpt from it.

Platform engineering, especially when done right (i.e. using a Platform Orchestrator to ship an IDP that is actually enterprise-grade) is a massive boost to your security profile as a company. Golden paths don’t just make devs’ lives easier, they let security teams enforce clear best practices and baseline templates. The Platform Orchestrator lets you roll out an enterprise-level RBAC model that defines clear roles and permissions, across all workflows and environments. It also allows you to audit every new deployment and revert back easily if needed.
