At some point, every engineering team has been on the brink of adopting DevOps. Developers find that they spend more time configuring pipelines than coding. More weight is put on on-call rotations. Each new service translates to a new set of tools that no one is familiar with.
There emerged a friction that led to the development of platform engineering. Rather than trying to bring each developer up to speed on "DevOps", a dedicated team builds and maintains the internal tooling, which helps the rest of engineering to move quickly without being bogged down.

DevOps is a collection of practices that aims to make the deployment, development, and operations process more streamlined and automated by unifying the Software development ( Dev) and IT operations.

While, Platform engineering treats internal developer tooling as a product. Instead of every team building its own pipelines, scripts, and deployment processes, A dedicated platform team builds an internal platform for other developers to build, test, and deploy software, rather than each team developing its own pipelines, scripts, and deployment processes.

Alt Digital Technologies works with seasoned software engineering professionals to design and implement DevOps pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and internal developer platforms that match where your organization actually is, not where a vendor wants to sell you.
Our approach starts with understanding how your teams work today. We look at deployment frequency, developer toil, onboarding time, and incident patterns. From there, we design a roadmap that gets you the most value with the least disruption.
If you are noticing the signs that your DevOps environment is becoming strained, then it's time to have a conversation with the team at Alt Digital Technologies.
