Platform Engineering

Platform engineering involves the design and development of platforms that support the software development lifecycle and operational processes within an organization. Platform engineers create and maintain infrastructure, tools, and frameworks that enable developers and other IT professionals to build, deploy, and manage applications more efficiently. This discipline focuses on providing scalable, secure, and reliable platforms that streamline workflows and improve productivity.

Platform engineering involves the creation and maintenance of shared development platforms that streamline the software development lifecycle. It provides developers with the tools, processes, and environments they need to build, test, and deploy applications efficiently, often incorporating elements like automation, infrastructure-as-code, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD).

Instruqt’s platform enables platform engineers to build, test, and refine environments in real-world conditions. These environments can be version-controlled and easily replicated, ensuring that engineering teams have consistent, reliable platforms for development and testing.
