Platform Engineering

Platform engineering is a multi disciplinary approach, informed by DevOps principles, that focuses on improving productivity, by providing a platform that allows development teams to focus on developing and delivering new features fast.

For that a platform provides and bundles all the necessary tools and services that are needed to develop, test, deploy and operate software. This includes services like databases, storage, messaging, monitoring, logging, security and compliance services.

From an architecture stand point, moving all the above mentioned services into "the platform" makes it easier to focus on the systems that care about the core business logic.
