Platform Engineering for Continuous Integration in Enterprise Cloud Environments: A Case Study Approach
Keywords:
Platform engineering, continuous integrationAbstract
Platform engineering streamlines corporate cloud CI and software development. This article examines platform engineering methodologies using corporate cloud CI cases. Platform engineering's scalability, assurance, and development team cooperation are highlighted in CI integration architectural and operational concepts.
Case examples from various sectors with diverse difficulties and needs demonstrate platform engineering's versatility. We explore case studies' architectural frameworks for CI pipeline integration with cloud-native services. Microservices, containerization, and infrastructure as code provide these frameworks flexibility, scalability, and consistency across development environments. High-quality software delivery involves CI automation for testing, deployment, and monitoring.
