Hello Team, I’m relatively new to the platform space and currently working on building an infrastructure automation platform for provisioning and managing Azure SQL databases. While I have good experience with IaC and GitOps, I’m finding it challenging to translate these practices into a unified, extensible platform or service. The sheer number of tools, stacks, and the buzz around platforms and IDPs has been a bit overwhelming. I’d greatly appreciate any guidance on how to get started, especially when it comes to defining foundational steps or converting a high-level mission statement into a practical design. Any resources, insights, or advice would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance!
