Book Description
Platform engineering offers solutions to multiple problems, in an era where scaling software and operations is more challenging than ever. The Platform Engineering Playbook is a meticulously crafted practical guide that covers the fundamentals, strategies, tools, and best practices of platform engineering.
The book introduces the basics of infrastructure management and DevOps approaches that lead you to platform engineering and related advanced concepts like automating infrastructure for enhancing developers' experience, and ensuring security and compliance at scale. You'll learn how to design and build a complete Internal Developer Platform (IDP) using cloud-native tools, such as Kubernetes, Crossplane, Backstage, and ArgoCD. You'll explore platform teams in-depth including why they are essential and how they can transform the efficiency of your engineering team and assist them in dealing with Observability (using Prometheus, Thanos, Open Telemetry, etc.) and security issues. You'll understand the importance of platform engineering as a critical component in the modern software development through real-world use cases from top IT companies.
After reading this book, you'll be able to confidently establish and manage a platform engineering team and design an internal developer platform using cloud native tools.
