Best of 2025: How To Harness Kubernetes For Platform Engineering
Platform Engineering, Thursday, January 1st, 2026
As software development lifecycles (SDLCs) continue to compress to meet the relentless demands of modern businesses, they are becoming more complex. This is forcing the traditional DevOps model to start showing some cracks.

Developers are often expected to take on tasks far beyond their expertise, such as managing pipelines, configuring K8s workloads and resolving incidents. This shift not only distracts them from their primary role - building great software - but also forces operations teams to spend significant time handholding developers instead of focusing on optimizing and scaling infrastructure.
