At PlatformCon 2025 in New York City, discussions emphasized the reconciliation of platform engineering and DevOps, moving past the belief that platform engineering would replace DevOps. Over 400 attendees showed that platform engineering is not dead, but a complement to DevOps. Keynote speaker Kelsey Hightower stated that platforms enhance developer efficiency by providing standardized tools and processes. This evolving relationship promises quicker, safer, and more enjoyable software releases, reflecting a significant cultural advancement in the tech community.
Platforms aren't magic APIs; they're agreements that make engineers faster at delivering business value.
A healthy Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is a force multiplier for DevOps teams, not a replacement.
