博客來Learn to design and build platforms and tools that maximize developer efficiency.
A great developer platform makes your development team incredibly efficient, providing a customized one-stop shop for everything they need to build and deploy applications. 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
- Cutting-edge GenAI integrations that enhance developer productivity Platform engineers bridge the gap between operations and development, automating many tasks throughout the software engineering lifecycle. 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. You’ll learn to create internal developer platforms and developer portals, as well as how to make sure your teams will use them. You’ll love the book’s informed guidance on ensuring stakeholder satisfaction and organizational uptake. About the bookEffective Platform Engineering demonstrates through practical examples and scenarios how platform engineering differs from traditional DevOps, what value it brings to an organization, and how to articulate and demonstrate that value to stakeholders. Chapter by chapter, you’ll build an understanding of both the patterns and anti-patterns of platforms. You’ll go hands-on to design and deploy secure, scalable, and observable engineering platforms based on real-world use cases. Diagrams, code samples, and exercises help you visualize important concepts and lock-in your learning. Plus, full coverage of generative AI tools within platform engineering ensures your team can take full advantage of the latest developments in code generation.
