Purpose & Overall Relevance for the Organisation: 

 

Platform Engineering is the practice of designing, building and operating platforms for application engineering teams to leverage. The main goal of the central platform engineering team is to unlock the potential of the application teams, so they spend more time focusing on business functionality, increasing velocity, and reducing time to market.

Because of its holistic charter, the Platform Engineering team requires both infrastructure and development skillsets, people who can architect and design services, and people who can build and run them.
