Lab Overview

In this research-focused lab, you'll explore the vast ecosystem of platform engineering tools and create a visual map categorizing them by purpose. You'll research 40+ tools across different categories like CI/CD, infrastructure as code, container orchestration, monitoring, and more.

This lab helps you understand the big picture of platform engineering tooling before diving into specific technologies. You'll learn how different tools complement each other and where they fit in the overall platform architecture.

By the end of this lab, you'll understand:

  • The major categories of platform engineering tools
  • Popular tools in each category and their use cases
  • How different tools integrate and complement each other
  • The modern platform engineering tool landscape
