How MSPs Manage Hybrid Cloud for Tenants Without Turning Into a Ticket Factory

illustration of sql

TL;DR Hybrid cloud operations collapse into chaos when tenant rules live in tribal knowledge rather than the platform itself. Adding more engineers to manage multi-cloud handoffs scales linearly; the only way to protect margins is to replace manual “inbox triage” with platform-enforced governance. When you embed limits and compliance directly into templates (Stacks) and pipelines … Read more

Benefits of implementing Internal Developer Portals

A benefit of Internal Developer Portals is that they turn software development chaos into something your team can actually manage – and even enjoy. As tech stacks grow and release cycles speed up, development teams end up juggling tools, tickets, and tribal knowledge spread across ten different places. And another benefit of Internal Developer Portals … Read more

Cloud Management Platforms vs IDP: Choosing the Right Abstraction Layer for Your DevOps Team

blog post illustration of optimization

Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs) abstract the underlying complexity of provisioning, managing, and securing infrastructure across cloud providers. A CMP can expose a unified Terraform catalog that provisions infrastructure in any combination of public and private clouds, such as AWS, Azure and VMware.  For DevOps and platform engineering teams juggling multiple accounts, tools, and policies, CMPs … Read more

Platform Engineering: 8 KPIs for 2025

When should you adopt Platform Engineering?

If you’ve not been living under a rock for the last year and a half, chances are you’ve heard of Platform Engineering. The latest industry trend promises to do everything DevOps tried to do and failed, yet again: lighten your devs’ workload, improve DevX, skyrocket operational efficiency, and turn your projects into rivers of gold.

In truth, Platform Engineering continues the process DevOps started. With PE, leaders have an actionable plan to build toolchains and workflows that empower developers of any skill level with self-service capabilities. It’s an all-round solution that not only improves devs’ autonomy and collaboration, but also enhances resource management, and provides ecosystem and plug-in integration.

You see why it’s an extremely attractive proposition for IT departments – and a very daunting undertaking. After all, it takes nearly 3 years and 20 dedicated specialists to start seeing tangible results. And yet, Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80% of IT departments will adopt internal platform engineering teams. 

Obviously, you don’t want to be left behind, but does this mean you should join the race now? When should you adopt Platform Engineering?

Let’s look at the factors that mean your organization needs to consider platform engineering seriously.

Quand devriez-vous adopter l’ingénierie de plateforme ?

Si vous ne vivez pas sous un rocher depuis un an et demi, il y a de fortes chances que vous ayez entendu parler de l’ingénierie de plateforme. La dernière tendance du secteur promet de faire tout ce que DevOps a essayé de faire et a échoué, une fois de plus : alléger la charge de travail de vos développeurs, améliorer DevX, faire monter en flèche l’efficacité opérationnelle et transformer vos projets en rivières d’or.

En réalité, l’ingénierie de plateforme poursuit le processus entamé par DevOps. Avec l’ingénierie de plateforme, les dirigeants disposent d’un plan d’action pour construire des chaînes d’outils et des flux de travail qui permettent aux développeurs de tout niveau de compétence de disposer de capacités en libre-service. Il s’agit d’une solution complète qui améliore non seulement l’autonomie et la collaboration des développeurs, mais aussi la gestion des ressources et l’intégration de l’écosystème et des modules d’extension.

Vous comprenez pourquoi il s’agit d’une proposition extrêmement attrayante pour les services informatiques – et d’une entreprise très intimidante. Après tout, il faut près de 3 ans et 20 spécialistes dévoués pour commencer à obtenir des résultats tangibles. Et pourtant, Gartner prévoit que d’ici 2026, 80 % des services informatiques adopteront des équipes internes d’ingénierie des plateformes.

Il est évident que vous ne voulez pas être à la traîne, mais cela signifie-t-il que vous devez vous lancer dans la course dès maintenant ? Quand devriez-vous adopter l’ingénierie de plateforme ?

Examinons les facteurs qui font que votre organisation doit envisager sérieusement l’ingénierie de plateforme.
