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

Is platform engineering more like devopsing or more like SWEing?

Do you mean purely by "definition?"  Or in terms of what a good Platform Engineering team would be doing day to day?  To me, its doing more traditional "Ops" work in a programatic, automated, and enabling way.  Creating pipelines and automation to get code out to production in a programatic, secure, scalable, and cost effective way.  That work could be done by traditional SWEs, or Devops Engineers.

Lotta buzz words in my response :slightly_smiling_face: .  Not intentional.

Platform engineering is building your internal platform as a product. It's SWEing a product, which includes lots of DevOps

<@U05C33R8CD6>’s break down is probably the best way to generally understand it

Platform engineering is more like plumbing. SWEing then would be using the water that comes out of those pipes.
