DevOps is a culture of shared delivery ownership; platform engineering builds an internal product that makes that culture practical at scale. Platform teams give other developers self-service tools and paved paths.
Developer experience (DevEx) is how smoothly engineers can build, test and ship code, shaped by their tools, processes, documentation and feedback loops. Good DevEx removes friction and waiting so teams spend more of their time on product work.
A golden path is the recommended, well-supported route for doing a common engineering task, such as creating a new service or deploying it. Platform teams provide it as templates, automation and documentation that work out of the box.
An internal developer portal is one internal website where engineers find services, owners, docs and self-service templates for building software. It is usually the visible front end of a platform engineering effort.
DevOps is a way of building and running software in which development and operations work as one team. Automation, shared ownership and fast feedback let that team ship changes often and safely.
A platform engineer builds and runs the internal developer platform that product teams use to ship software. It bundles shared tooling, infrastructure and self-service workflows, and the role pays off once several teams keep reinventing the same infrastructure.
Platform engineering is the discipline of building an internal developer platform that product teams use to build, deploy and run software. It bundles shared tools, templates and self-service workflows so teams stop reinventing infrastructure.
