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

It's a really great take on this. I reslly like the product approach. I was just wondering if that should be part if the define step as well? That is, the product that the design should support, based on current tooling, infrastructure etc.

It's true that the way I wrote the article, it's like if nothing already exist. Because I think it's necessary to get rid of the noise during the define phase. But it's true in an organization, if you already have tools in place, it's going to be hard to not consider them.

I was thinking more of product discovery, product design etc, that is, designing it as a product first and then design the technology, new and/or legacy to realize the product. In a way, to adopt product thinking all the way. Perhaps this is difficult since the product in itself is technology
