The momentum around Platform Engineering as an industry trend continues to increase almost exponentially. A challenge for many technology leaders is making sense of how industry trends might apply to our own business strategies. Like Cloud Computing, Containers, Kubernetes, and even DevOps time and again trends with this kind of momentum prove to be a critical success factor for an organization's technology strategy. As a result it's vital we understand how Platform Engineering applies to us and can be implemented to help support our organization's success.
