#PlatformEngineering

Ah! You should pay other companies to do it, always, to the extent that they can.

But every company needs a (thin?) layer of customization between their PaaS and their applications. Glue code, pipelines, component configs. That you will always have to build yourself.

🌸 Spring into action with LOPUG's latest meetup.

Join our Marcus Noble and Callum Daw of Accurx for insightful talks on webhooks and data-driven DevOps. 🗓️

How are you building your platform? 🤔 Does it enable developers to go faster and platform engineers to automate workflows/policy and scale the system effectively? 🤓

congratulations to the Kubefirst - GitOps Application Delivery Platform team on dropping our 💯th release. a bugfix patch for the k3d local platform just shipped and the milestone caught my eye. so proud of how far we've come, team k-ray! 🚀 can't wait to see what we can do with the next hundred!!

I still think we should rename platform engineering to “migration engineering” because that’s what you actually have to get good at.

Loving the way Kunal Kushwaha is quoting lesley cordero in his KubeCrash talk this evening, which I'm guessing he first heard at the LOPUG meetup a couple of weeks ago where Lesley gave a great presentation.
Community knowledge-sharing for the win!! 🎉🏅
