DevOps Evolves Into Platform Engineering Paradigm

Industry leaders report DevOps is shifting into platform engineering as organizations centralize internal developer platforms, with Gartner projecting 80% of engineering groups will establish platform teams by 2026. The change coincides with generative AI and AIOps accelerating coding (McKinsey estimates up to 50% faster) while forcing tighter DevSecOps and FinOps controls such as SBOMs and policy-as-code. This alters delivery metrics and operational priorities.
