You’re not a platform team if you’re just managing infrastructure

Platform engineering? It's not just gift-wrapping infrastructure as a service. It's about handing devs the reins and saying, "Go wild." Think of it like an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), similar to theGoogle Cloud Platform. Here, users truly own their services. The result? Scalability soars, bot..
