As organizations continue to streamline their cloud application capabilities and become cloud native by design, platform teams have emerged as critical enablers in maturing application delivery. These teams are quickly becoming instrumental in operationalizing high performance delivery models at scale and optimizing development and delivery chains.
Platforms teams are now central to driving consistency, standardization and automation across modern application infrastructure operations, leading to more agile teams and improved dev and delivery productivity. Platform teams also play a key role to drive a unified developer experience and empower developer teams to build and ship apps faster.
As per IDC’s research, unifying developer experience is the #1 consideration for organizations to improve performance and productivity across development activities. Yet one in two organizations indicate reception of their internal dev platforms by developers has been rather unsatisfactory. Furthermore, one in two organizations recognize there is shadow app development taking place in their organizations, posing a series of challenges to driving architectural and operational alignment, including elevated risk exposure across the application delivery landscape. Cost management is also a major challenge affecting teams operating cloud application estates, where 6 in 10 organizations indicate overspend relative to initial budgeting.
Such challenges can be solved by standing up capable platform teams focused on driving operational discipline while reconciling the needs and wants of multiple personas, including developers, operations, architecture, security and the business, while meeting the mandates for financial control, compliance, and governance.
