Kubernetes is going to cause a formal rift between software engineers and what we will call platform engineers.

If you’re migrating or modernizing your system, start with the most important components — not the least.

Depending on your needs, these solutions might make perfect sense — or they might leave you with inferior technology trying to perform critical business functions.

Platformization makes a system seem simpler by delegating how much complexity any one engineer must understand at one time. This lowers the barrier to productive contributions.
