Platform Engineering: Scaling DevOps Through AI-Driven Self-Service
Platform Engineering, Thursday, February 6th, 2025
Platform engineering is emerging as the key to scaling DevOps practices through self-service capabilities, according to Andi Grabner, Platform Engineering Advocate at Dynatrace. The focus is on delivering the right data to the right people at the right time.
At Dynatrace Perform 2025, the company introduced Observability for Developers, providing development teams with easy data access, advanced analytics and the new Live Debugger. This supports what Grabner calls the 'one-click opportunity' - integrating debugging and observability tools directly within developer workflows.
'The key consideration is what type of observability data is needed for which consumer of the data,' Grabner explains. 'I need to understand where the developer spends most of their time in tools and then figure out how to get the relevant observability data to the developers where they are when they need the data.'
