Answer the State of Platform Engineering 2024 survey
It’s that time of year again. Answer the State of Platform Engineering 2024 survey!
There are two things I am most proud of from this awesome community. It’s the full-suite platform engineering fundamentals course we launched just a month ago, and it’s our state of platform engineering survey.
The data from our State of Platform Engineering survey is the #1 source for the industry of where we are, how things have changed, and where we’re going. It gets sourced everywhere, and the whitepaper I wrote referring to the data was downloaded over 25k times…
This year, as a testament to how much more advanced Platform Engineering is these days, we’ve split the survey in two. The platform engineering survey, and the salary survey.
One for all practitioners whether DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineers etc, and one for platform teams specifically.
This data is where the industry gets a sense of everything from basic definitions of what platform engineering means, and what platform engineers actually do, to ofc the juiciest questions like AI usage and current salaries.
It tracks the year-over-year changes in the size of the industry, but also in what the discipline itself entails.
And this year it focuses heavily on understanding where we all sit on the platform engineering maturity model.
So, want to help the community and industry better understand how platform engineering has changed in the last year?
