Show Notes
#271: Platform engineering has traditionally centered around technological excellence. From building robust Kubernetes clusters to implementing intricate CI/CD pipelines, the emphasis has been on mastering the technical aspects. However, as the industry matures, there’s a growing realization that technological prowess alone isn’t enough.
In this episode, we speak with Puja Abbassi, the VP of Product at Giant Swarm, about how measuring success not just through the lens of technological achievement but through the tangible impact on users is really where platform engineering is headed.
