Hi guys, I am confused a bit, and you guys are the best to answer this question. I understand the need and the objective of platform engineering, but I can't find an example to see how this platform actually works and how you interact with it.Like, is it an application? Just how does this platform look?

Hey Yahya! Assuming that you’re looking for an IDP - internal developer platform - you could read yourself into the “what is it” here --> https://internaldeveloperplatform.org/what-is-an-internal-developer-platform/ If you’re looking for an actual architecture, you could give the reference architectures from Humanitec a spin - all OSS and Terraformed for your convenience --> https://humanitec.com/reference-architectures Since we also just had PlatformCon, I suggest you take a look at the talks --> https://platformcon.com/talks LMK if you feel something is missing!
