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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Kief Morris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the technology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlatform engineering is the discipline of building internal developer platforms (IDPs) that automate and simplify the software development lifecycle. IDPs provide self-service interfaces to tools and services for infrastructure, deployment, security, observability, and governance, and reduce the need for developers to master complex technologies like Kubernetes. Because they match the specific needs of an organization, well-engineered IDPs can reduce development time by half while delivering better software.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eEffective Platform Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e you’ll be able to design, build, deploy, and scale a custom IDP. You’ll discover how platform engineering differs from DevOps and learn to create a platform that evolves with changing requirements. Diagrams, code samples, and exercises help you visualize important concepts. Along the way, you’ll explore critical topics like gathering requirements and establishing realistic service level agreements (SLAs).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Automated application workflows\u003cbr\u003e• Scalable Kubernetes-based platforms\u003cbr\u003e• A well-designed control plane\u003cbr\u003e• Custom APIs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor software engineers, SREs, and DevOps engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAjay Chankramath\u003c\/b\u003e is the Founder and CEO of Platformetrics. \u003cb\u003eNic Cheneweth\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eBryan Oliver\u003c\/b\u003e are Principal Consultants at Thoughtworks. \u003cb\u003eSean Alvarez\u003c\/b\u003e is the CTO of Life Sciences at Brillio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1\u003cbr\u003e1 What is platform engineering?\u003cbr\u003e2 Software-defined products and architectures\u003cbr\u003e3 Measuring your way to platform engineering success\u003cbr\u003ePart 2\u003cbr\u003e4 Governance, compliance, and trust\u003cbr\u003e5 Evolutionary observability\u003cbr\u003e6 Building a software-defined engineering platform\u003cbr\u003e7 Platform control plane foundations\u003cbr\u003e8 Control plane services and extensions\u003cbr\u003ePart 3\u003cbr\u003e9 Architecture changes to support scale\u003cbr\u003e10 Platform product evolution\u003cbr\u003eA Solutions to the exercises\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet a free eBook (PDF or ePub) from Manning as well as access to the online liveBook format (and its AI assistant that will answer your questions in any language) when you purchase the print book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook License\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnd-User Warranty And License Agreement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
