Episode description
In this episode, Ray Bernardi welcomes Alan Ashley to explain why platform engineering is becoming the next step after DevOps: creating an internal developer platform (IDP) that standardizes tools, environments, and “paved paths to production” so teams can deliver faster and more consistently.
They then show how DROPS fits in: it orchestrates releases across mixed environments, integrates with common toolchains, provides end-to-end traceability, and even supports one-click rollback to reduce risk and manual errors.
