As tech faces a downturn, platform engineering offers a way to decrease cognitive load, cut cloud costs, and boost delivery speed. What’s the catch?
The tech industry is amidst another round of seemingly senseless layoffs. Serving as a backlash to a time of over-hiring, incredibly profitable companies are now cutting costs by cutting people. And with high salaries, engineering is often seen as a cost center – rather than an opportunity for an organization to thrive.
With burnout in software engineering at a high, leaner teams make for a less-than-optimal solution. Fortunately, the emerging practice of platform engineering offers an opportunity for developer teams to reduce their cognitive load and do more with less.
