Platform engineering has come a long way over the past few decades. In the early days, developers relied on monolithic architecture—a single, large codebase that included everything in one package. While this approach worked well enough for relatively small projects, it quickly became unwieldy and inefficient as applications grew larger and more complex. That's when modular architecture came onto the scene. This new approach allows developers to break down their codebases into smaller, independent modules that can be developed, tested and deployed independently of each other. Nowadays, most modern applications are built using these modules for greater scalability, flexibility and maintainability. Let’s take a look at how companies have made the transition from monolithic to modular architecture and what benefits it brings with it.

Platform engineering is one of the hottest trends in the world of XOps. It is said to be the next evolution of DevOps. In a New Stack article, they’ve shared that it’s such a hot topic, their audience ranked it fourth among topics they want to learn about in 2023. But why is it highly talked about in the Operations world? What does platform engineering actually mean? What does it look like and what are the opportunities of using this platform tool for software organizations?

A distributed system designates a group of independent software components that run as a single system. These independent components, or nodes, are spread across multiple computers connected by a local or a wide area network. They exchange messages to communicate and coordinate in order to complete a task more efficiently than a single device. A distributed system may be composed of a myriad of hardware devices (such as personal computers, mobile phones, mainframes) or software processes, working towards a common goal and feeling to the end-user (either a person or an application) as a single computer.
