Platform Engineering isn't just another buzzword—it's the evolution that makes DevOps, DevSecOps, and SRE practices actually scale across entire organizations.
In this episode, Scott shares a real story from a scrum call where a simple code formatting mistake became the catalyst for building automated systems that eliminate toil forever. This is what platform engineering is all about: solving problems once at the platform level so everyone benefits.
What You'll Learn:
Key Takeaway: If you're doing something manually more than twice, it's time to automate. Platform engineering is about systematically eliminating toil and building systems where excellence becomes the default path.
Scott draws from 20+ years in tech, his time in the Navy on the USS Ashland, and experience at Google PSO, AWS ProServe, and consulting with McKenzie, PWC, and Deloitte to show you how to implement these solutions at scale.
This episode sets up perfectly for next week's deep dive into observability and monitoring across multi-cloud environments.
