## Key topics

• Why Platform Engineering?: As software teams grow, they face increasing complexity in how they build, test, and deploy code. Platform Engineering helps by creating shared, reliable infrastructure and tools that streamline development workflows, reduce cognitive load, and let engineers focus on shipping value faster.
