Description

Build the kind of software engineering platforms developers love to use!

An effective developer platform means one thing: productivity. Effective Platform Engineering introduces platform engineering as a discipline, teaching you what goes into a great developer platform and then showing you how to develop your own.

In Effective Platform Engineering, you’ll learn to deliver:

Improved business outcomes
Product management strategies
Secure, scalable Kubernetes-based engineering platforms
Effective Service Level Objectives to boost trust and adoption
Modern control plane patterns that streamline developer workflows

Effective Platform Engineering shows you how to establish and administer the kind of platforms that reduce a dev team’s workload, improve consistency, and accelerate software delivery. Organized in three parts—foundations, building, and scaling—it blends mental models, patterns, and runnable examples to help you go from MVP to production-grade platform. You’ll learn how to treat platforms as products and demonstrate their value by improving engineering outcomes and delivering measurable business impact. You’ll love the book’s informed guidance and practical insights on satisfying stakeholders and driving organizational success.
