Migrating to the cloud as part of modernization efforts typically does not occur in a well-sequenced, planned, or consistent fashion. Various applications, knowledge levels and cloud approaches usually result in efforts carving their unique paths, often resulting in an unorganized patchwork of implementations and variances of configurations, security posture, unmanaged costs, untenable complexity, decreased developer productivity, compliance challenges and more. These all quickly become impediments to achieving the intended business outcomes (such as increased business agility, competitiveness and financial efficiencies) for which the business’ cloud migration and modernization initiatives were undertaken.

Techstrong Research polled our community of security, cloud and DevOps readers and viewers to gauge their perspectives on platform engineering, app modernization and cloud migration. The findings suggest that organizations should invest in platform engineering today or in the near future, aligning platform efforts with cloud, modernization, migration and other top business priorities.
