Over the past year, I’ve seen a major shift: platform engineering teams are taking a bigger role in how applications are built. In this article, I share three areas that I believe define successful platform engineering in 2025.

Would love to hear your thoughts?

Seeing Dapr emerge into the Trial phase in the latest Thoughtworks tech radar is tremendous validation of its adoption. The focus on cross cutting concerns including security, retry policies and observability is interesting, as this is a strong ask among Dapr users to enforce compliance.
