What happens when DevOps principles start to bend under the weight of scale? At Google and many other large organizations, a new discipline emerged to answer that question: developer platform engineering. This book shares how Google built internal developer platforms that enable hundreds of teams to ship faster, operate more reliably, and maintain true service ownership—without placing the entire burden on each developer. Platform Engineering at Google combines lessons from years of experience with actionable patterns and guidance for teams building or evolving internal platforms. You'll learn what worked and what didn't, when to centralize versus decentralize, and how to apply product thinking to developer experience. Whether you're launching a new initiative or refining an existing one, this book will help you establish the right foundations to scale DevOps sustainably. Explore the origins of Google's platform engineering practiceLearn to treat internal platforms as products with real usersBuild systems that increase developer autonomy without adding overheadApply practical patterns and avoid common platform pitfallsUnderstand the relationship between platforms, SRE, DevOps, and developer experienceMake informed decisions about when and how to launch a platform team
