About This Podcast
The Platform Engineering Playbook Podcast is where AI meets open-source infrastructure knowledge—and you're part of the editorial process. Every episode is researched, scripted, and produced with AI, then reviewed by the community and published on GitHub for anyone to improve. Facing tool sprawl across 130+ platforms? Justifying PaaS costs to your CFO? Navigating the Shadow AI crisis hitting 85% of organizations? We tackle the messy realities of platform engineering that most content avoids, delivering data-backed insights and decision frameworks you can use Monday morning. Built for senior engineers, SREs, and DevOps practitioners with 5+ years in production, we dissect cloud economics, AI governance, infrastructure trade-offs, and career strategy—with the receipts to back it up. Think we got something wrong? Have better data? Open a pull request at platformengineeringplaybook.com. This is infrastructure podcasting as a living document, where the community keeps us honest and the content gets better with every contribution.
