7. What Platform Engineering looks like today
Provisioning and managing VMs and Kubernetes clusters
Writing and maintaining complex YAML for network policies and security
Manually setting up role-based access and permissions
Stitching together CI/CD, monitoring, logging, and secrets management
Troubleshooting broken pipelines and environment drift
Managing secrets, config files, and environment variables across stages
Enforcing compliance and security policies with little automation
Responding to infrastructure issues instead of enabling developer velocity

11. Why current off-the-shelf IDPs frustrate platform engineers
What They Actually Want
What They Struggle With
● Too much time spent wiring tools
together
● Rigid workflows that don’t adapt
to organizational needs
● Fragmented developer
experience across multiple
dashboards
● Security and Zero Trust are
bolted-on not built-in
● No visibility into platform usage or
bottlenecks
● Another system to manage—not
simplify
● A unified, composable platform
with built-in best practices
● Secure by default, multi-cloud
ready
● Self-service for developers,
control for platform teams
● Built-in observability and usage
insights
● Extensible via APIs and GitOps
● Less manual toil—more time
enabling teams
