Introducing Platformless Computing - The Future of Enterprise Application Development

COVER STORY

The enterprise application space has undergone significant shifts over the years due to radical simplification. We've seen transitions from client-server to web and mobile, datacenter to cloud, and app server to serverless. Now, a new shift called "platformless" is emerging, which simplifies software development by abstracting the complexities of building a platform for application developers.

The benefit of the platformless approach is that it radically simplifies software development, making it easier to build, deploy, and run enterprise applications. It retains the advantages of complex software delivery and runtime platforms but shifts the focus away from platform building. This improves the development experience and results in better applications for customers. For any internal developer platform, it is crucial to provide a platformless experience for its users.
