As a result, organizations are weighing microservices vs. monolithic architecture to improve software delivery speed and quality. Traditional monolithic architectures are built around the concept of large applications that are self-contained, independent, and incorporate myriad capabilities. What is monolithic architecture?

Platform engineering creates and manages a shared infrastructure and set of tools, such as internal developer platforms (IDPs) , to enable software developers to build, deploy, and operate applications more efficiently. As a result, teams can focus on writing code and building features rather than dealing with infrastructure nuances.
