Platform Engineering 1.0 delivered real value. Golden paths accelerated deployment. Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) reduced cognitive load for developers. Self-service infrastructure gave developers back hours they had been spending filing tickets. Pipelines provided a standard vehicle to...
The rapid proliferation of AI, particularly generative AI, is forcing a re-evaluation of existing software development and deployment paradigms.
This indicates a critical evolution in how software infrastructure is managed, which will directly impact the speed and efficiency of AI development and deployment.
Platform engineering shifts from supporting general software deployment to specifically optimizing for the unique demands of AI-native workloads, such as GPU management and specialized data pipelines.
