Platform Engineering End-to-End

Platform engineering is more than DevOps with a portal. This post walks the full arc of the discipline end to end: why platforms exist, how to build and operate them, how to manage the messy stakeholder politics, and what success actually looks like. Grounded in Fournier and Nowland's book and a few years of doing this on real systems.
