Developer Portals and Platforms are gaining popularity amongst engineering leaders that want to reduce cognitive load for developers. But the lines between these categories are starting to blur, creating more confusion in engineering teams about where to start. Here's our take on how the two differ, which should come first, and why none of this will likely matter in another year...

Platform engineering is the future of software delivery. Discover how this emerging discipline inspired a movement of 15k+ platform pioneers in just two years.

Developer productivity is so August 2023. Enter Developer Counter-Productivity. Productive developers spend more of their time and energy on high-leverage activities. Counter-productive developers spend more time and energy on low or negative-leverage activities. This skew is often only marginally within their control (and sometimes completely out of their control). It explains why the same developers in a different environment can be so much more (or less) productive.

We adapted a version of Syntasso’s Platform Maturity Model and lessons learned from the community to dig into organizations’ alignment with platform engineering best practices.

This paper intends to support enterprise leaders, enterprise architects and platform team leaders to advocate for, investigate and plan internal platforms for cloud computing. We believe platforms significantly impact enterprises' actual value streams, but only indirectly, so leadership consensus and support is vital to the long-term sustainability and success of platform teams. In this paper we'll enable that support by discussing what the value of platforms is, how to measure it, and how to implement platform teams that maximize it.

The Syntasso team has a long history of open source and community engagement as well as being leaders within the platform engineering space. Through this work over time it’s become clear that people are struggling to identify and deliver on the key differentiators that drive success in platform engineering. In trying to clarify this messaging and journey, the team has developed a platform maturity model outlining principles and behaviours that can lead to more effective outcomes. We have been bl
