"Platform engineering leads to so-called golden paths in the form of assured outcomes in software development projects. This software engineering construct and methodology is designed to provide developer infrastructure with self-service toolchains, services and processes encapsulated inside a so-called Internal Developer Platform (IDP). But how shiny is the golden path, are there mucky potholes along the way... and do we need special walking boots?"
""This trend is moving at a breakneck pace - Gartner expects that by 2026, four out of five large software engineering organisations will have established platform engineering teams, up from just 45% in 2022. Such rapid adoption is being driven by a multitude of factors, including the overwhelming complexity of multicloud architectures and the toolchains required to build, deploy and run software across them, as well as growing regulatory pressure," said Reynolds, during a technical briefing in London this week."
Platform engineering produces golden paths offering assured outcomes by providing developer infrastructure with self-service toolchains, services and processes inside Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). The approach aims to streamline workflows and improve efficiency compared with ad hoc team-built tools that cause silos, duplication and inconsistency. Rapid adoption is driven by multicloud complexity, expansive toolchains and increasing regulatory pressure. Gartner projects that by 2026, 80% of large software engineering organisations will have platform engineering teams, up from 45% in 2022. Platform engineering can reduce friction, standardise practices and enable scalable delivery while requiring careful design to avoid overconstraining developer autonomy.
