- It’s essential to measure platform engineering against usage and adoption metrics.
- Developer experience is key to platform engineering success.
- Good engineering leaders are focused on product, not just technology.
- IDP (Internal Developer Platform) should be a platform that enables other developers, not just serve the needs of a few.
