#31: Understanding Platform Engineering with Sergiu Petean from Allianz Direct
Episode description
The evolution of DevOps is inevitable and we have long lived in a paradigm where Platform Engineering is no longer the Next Big Thing, but a necessity. We decided to talk to our friend Sergiu Petean from Allianz Direct and CNCF, who is very advanced in both theory and practice, and shared with us his observations on what Platform Engineering is today and how it changes depending on the type and size of the organisation. In this episode:
- What is platform engineering?
- What's the difference between a DevOps engineer 10 years ago and a platform engineer today?
- How do you make infrastructre for a big company with very different verticals?
- Why would you rebuild a platform from scratch?
- What are the solutions for smaller companies?
