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

Not sure Platform ops is a thing by itself… CNCF is a larger space, that includes, I guess, a lot of the modern tooling we usually use… but it’s not a 100% coverage, and it’s not meant to…
Maybe you should start something :slightly_smiling_face:

That was my suspicion! :slightly_smiling_face:

Also categorizing them would be pretty cool

There are quite some nuances on how we do things

<@U02J9RB3FPA> I haven’t really gotten much further, have also been looking at maturity models - could be worth teaming up!

Do you know this page? <https://internaldeveloperplatform.org/platform-tooling/>
There is some classification already.

• Kubernetes control planes
• Platform orchestrators
I don't like these very much. Especially how Humanitec came up with a word that only they can fit :slightly_smiling_face:
full disclosure: I am also a vendor, but see value in articulating differences between tools.

There is also an empty awesome list: <https://github.com/toptechevangelist/awesome-platform-engineering>

Also there is this article: <https://medium.com/contino-engineering/creating-your-internal-developer-platform-part-2-65ff217cecd6>
and this: <https://medium.com/@rphilogene/the-10-platform-engineering-tools-to-use-in-2022-c2cbf2561f77>

What I am planning to do is collecting tools and trying to cluster them into 5 categories, or whatever makes sense. In an airtable or something
then blog about the categories, how they are distinct, how they overlap, and how they may converge over time. <@U0407DC593R> Is this something interesting for you?

hi <@U02J9RB3FPA> apologies for not getting back to you - have been off with covid and only just back to work! Let me chew this over and will come back to you :slightly_smiling_face:
