Platform Engineering

In the cloud-native era, we help you develop an internal developer platform to cover the operational necessities of the entire lifecycle of an application.

DO YOU NEED IT?

Platform Engineering

If you're scaling and iterating your application regularly, you need an internal developer platform (IDP). Condensing complex DevOps tools into one reliable platform ensures your developers can focus on shipping new features, not rewriting app infrastructure configurations. Bitovi will help you identify the needs of your dev team and anyone else in the organization who will benefit from the platform. Then, we'll work to craft structured toolchains and workflows.

What is Platform Engineering?

We're glad you asked! Platform engineering is a newer concept, born from the ever evolving DevOps/cloud landscape and the increasing complexity of modern applications. Platform engineers configure the various tools and resources your developers require, create an abstraction layer, and build a user interface—turning complex tools, like Kubernetes and Helm, into a single, self-service platform your development team can use with ease. This self-service tool is known as an internal developer platform (or IDP). It becomes platform as a service (PaaS) for your internal developer team.

The Pros of Platform Engineering

Reliability

Building an internal developer platform means less room for error. Cut down miscommunications between your developer and operations teams with a well-structured IDP and gain a trusted solution for deployment.

Greater Productivity

Whether you're working with multiple tech stacks or a small dev team, building a reliable platform will help your dev team devote more time to writing code and less time configuring the infrastructure.

Better Workflow Standards

When a new developer is onboarded, they learn deployment standards based on the IDP. Plus, you'll hear, "but it works on my machine" way less.

Overall Improves Company Efficiency

Platform engineering allows developers to dedicate their time and energy on the implementation of new features, bug fixes, and updates to maximize the value of your product. Project managers and customers alike will benefit from streamlining deployments with a well-constructed IDP.

Well crafted IDPs mean less cognitive load for your development teams, less hand offs, and more business value delivered to your customers.
