Gartner described Platform Engineering in its "Top Ten Strategic Technology Trends for 2023" as follows: Platform Engineering is a set of mechanisms for building and operating a self-service internal developer platform that supports software delivery and lifecycle management and architecture. The goal of platform engineering is to optimize the developer experience and accelerate the speed at which product teams can deliver value to customers.
The digital technology company undertakes the group's digital intelligence project internally, and develops industrialized products that can be marketed externally. The complexity of software development and operation continues to increase, followed by the continuous increase in the number of coding participants, and the difficulty of troubleshooting and quality management also increases exponentially. If manpower is not accompanied by structured management improvement, it will It will be a disaster, not only can't improve the efficiency of the project, but will greatly reduce the quality of the project.
Yonyou believes that digital intelligence engineering capabilities are the cornerstone of system resilience. Through the output of " engineering" capabilities, the software development process can be systematized, modularized, and standardized, improving development efficiency, improving product quality, reducing development difficulty, and reducing enterprise costs. , Improve product usability, this is the meaning of engineering. UFIDA iuap platform is based on cloud-native architecture, realizes high flexibility and high availability of enterprise services through containerization technology, realizes agile release and change of business innovation through DevOps capabilities, and realizes flexible decoupling and free governance of enterprise innovation services through microservice capabilities .
The DevOps management tool provided by Digital Technology based on the iuap platform enables "software developers (Dev)" and "IT operation and maintenance technicians (Ops)" to collaborate more efficiently. By automating the processes of "software delivery" and "architecture change", It makes building, testing, and releasing software faster, more frequent, and more reliable, and enables digital companies to be more agile in meeting the software function iteration needs of business departments. Based on containerization technology, it helps digital companies to centralize resource management, uniform and rapid deployment of applications, gray-scale release without interrupting business, convenient and fast operation control, and more intelligent operation and maintenance control.
With the rapid development of information technology, digital company managers must adapt to the latest trends in order to effectively lead and manage the enterprise's digital intelligence strategy. Through the implementation of platform engineering and the establishment of an internal developer platform, we can better overcome the current challenges and realize the use of technology to drive business value and innovation, so that enterprises can maintain a leading position and maintain competitiveness in an increasingly disruptive world. When implementing platform engineering, it is necessary to consider issues such as platform technology selection, integration with existing resources, and user acceptance, and clearly plan strategies to make full use of the value brought by platform engineering to enterprises.
