DevOps and Platform Engineering: Ship software faster and more safely with DevOps practices and internal developer platforms, explained for beginners. It is a 58-page illustrated PDF from the oJAYo team, written in plain language and up to date for 2026.
DevOps is a way of building and running software where development and operations work together, automate as much as possible and release small changes often. Platform engineering is its newer companion: building an internal developer platform that gives teams self-service tools and paved “golden paths” so they can ship safely without reinventing infrastructure each time.
Both are among the rising technology topics in long-term search trends, and both have become mainstream. Google’s 2025 DORA research found that 90% of organizations had adopted platform engineering, and that a high-quality internal platform is a foundation for getting value from AI.
