In the ever-changing IT world, it's hard to create content that stays relevant for long. One of the objectives of "Platform Engineering for Architects: Crafting Modern Platforms as a Product" was to stay timeless by providing practical examples of use cases that are not necessarily tied to current technology trends.The book focuses on the importance of building a platform with a purpose, making the impact measurable and making sure the platform continuous evolves by continuously including the end users (the engineering teams) in the evolution of the platform.Tune in to this episode and hear from Max Körbächer (Founder of Liquid Reply), Hilliary Lipsig (Senior Principal SRE at RedHat) and Andi Grabner (Co-Host of PurePerformance) on what made them write a book on Platform Engineering and get some personal insights into what gets the authors excited about their respective topics.If you have a chance meet Max, Hilliary and Andi at KubeCon in London. They will present at Platform Engineering Day and will also do a book signing at KubeCrawl!Links we discussed:Book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Platform-Engineering-Architects-Crafting-platforms-ebook/dp/B0DH5DJFTHPlatform Engineering Day Session: https://colocatedeventseu2025.sched.com/event/1u5mX/platform-engineering-for-architects-crafting-platforms-as-a-product-max-korbacher-liquid-reply-hilliary-lipsig-red-hatHilliary Lipsig: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hilliary-lipsig-a5935245/Max Körbächer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxkoerbaecher/Andi Grabner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grabnerandi/
