A curated collection of tools, resources, and articles for building and managing internal developer platforms.
Awesome Platform Engineering is a curated GitHub repository listing tools, articles, videos, and other resources related to platform engineering. It serves as a directory for teams looking to build or improve internal developer platforms, covering categories like infrastructure management, security, observability, and developer portals. The project helps engineers discover both open-source and commercial solutions in one organized place.
Platform engineers, DevOps teams, engineering managers, and developers involved in building or managing internal platforms and toolchains. It's also useful for anyone researching best practices and tools for improving developer experience and operational efficiency.
It saves time by aggregating and categorizing the fragmented landscape of platform engineering tools into a single, well-maintained list. Unlike generic DevOps lists, it focuses specifically on platform engineering concerns, making it a targeted resource for teams adopting this discipline.
Curated list of tools and resources for Platform Engineering
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Tools and resources are grouped into specific functional areas like 'Infrastructure and Artifacts Management' and 'Security and Policies,' making targeted discovery efficient without sifting through unrelated content.
Includes not only tools but also articles, videos, podcasts, and community links, providing a holistic view from learning concepts to practical implementation, as seen in sections like YouTube channels and newsletters.
Leverages collective knowledge with links to Slack communities and curated updates, ensuring relevance to current platform engineering trends, though it relies on contributions for maintenance.
Unlike generic DevOps lists, it targets platform engineering disciplines, helping users avoid noise and find resources tailored to building internal developer platforms, such as development portals and observability tools.
The list provides links and brief descriptions but lacks critical reviews, integration guides, or comparisons, forcing users to conduct additional research for informed decisions.
While it points to tools like Backstage or Crossplane, it doesn't offer tutorials or examples on how to deploy or customize them, which can be a hurdle for teams new to platform engineering.
As a community-curated list, it may suffer from infrequent updates or selective inclusions, potentially missing newer tools or providing outdated links, as acknowledged in its reliance on contributions.
