8 — Platform Reliability

2 — Platform Reliability

Reliability engineering applied to the platform's own control plane: the platform going down blocks every team behind it, not just one service.

Internal Developer Platforms

A book-shaped table of contents for Internal Developer Platforms: IDP fundamentals, architecture, self-service, golden paths, software catalogs, Backstage, templates, platform APIs and automation, developer experience, governance, operations, success metrics, anti-patterns, enterprise scale, and MAANG interview preparation — cross-linking existing platform-engineering-fundamentals/sre/observability notes instead of duplicating them.

Site Reliability Engineering: From Foundations to Internet-Scale Systems

The complete 184-chapter, 15-part Site Reliability Engineering curriculum — from Linux internals and distributed-systems theory through reliability engineering, observability, incident response, platform engineering, and Staff/Principal-level MAANG interview preparation, ordered the way SRE expertise actually develops rather than as a topic index.

1 — Platform Engineering Fundamentals

Building the internal platform other teams build on, which changes the job from operating one service to operating the thing every service depends on.

2 — Internal Developer Platforms

The self-service layer that turns 'file a ticket and wait' into 'click a button and get a compliant environment' — and the golden-path opinions that make that safe.

3 — Self-Service Infrastructure

Giving product teams the ability to provision infrastructure themselves without giving up the guardrails that keep that infrastructure compliant and reliable.

4 — Golden Paths

The paved, supported way to build a service on the platform — and why an easy golden path is what makes the unsupported path rare instead of forbidden.
