Explore how platform engineering empowers organizations to build scalable, efficient, and resilient digital infrastructures.

Platform engineers play a pivotal role in the software development lifecycle by designing, building, and maintaining the foundational infrastructure that supports an organization's digital platform.

Understand the distinct roles within platform engineering and how they collaborate to build scalable, reliable, and secure platforms.

Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of Platform Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, and Security Engineers.

DevPod is the first and only tool for creating and managing dev environments that does not require a heavyweight server-side setup.

DevPod brings the power of GitHub Codespaces to any infrastructure — fully open-source and self-hosted.

DevPod does not host or manage the dev environments. Instead, DevPod introduces a way to define a dev environment which can then be run in any cloud infrastructure or even on a localhost machine using Docker or Kubernetes.
