Front-End Platform Engineering
We are switching from the era of Front-End DevOps to a Platform Engineering- to create company-specific platform to develop and deliver their products.
It goes through the stages of a Design System creation, integrated in a UI Framework (React, Vue, Angular…), and building an abstraction level on top of Cloud providers (AWS, Azure etc.) and tooling (K8S, Terraform..), and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Github) + observability and security enablement, to move the cognitive load from the product delivery teams.
Picking the right tooling, foster the culture, solution and approaches is complex, but there is a common set of patterns and tools, so this talk is to describe both the reasons why Platform Engineering is a must, and to demo which tools and approaches will help you in this journey.
