  2. 11/23/23, 3:50 PM the growing need for end users to work on complex apps/software, regardless of their technical knowledge. Rendering Innovation and Exemplary End-user Experiences with Product and Platform Engineering It is worth noting that a product generates revenue from a single transaction while a platform e?ciently monetizes ongoing interactions. For example, one can sell products on the Amazon e-commerce platform, share content on YouTube, or make apps for the IOS App Store. In each case, the platform gets a portion of the money from the sale. In simple words, unlike a product, a platform is a continuous source of revenue where customers/end-users get what they want; hence, it makes sense to consider it a product too. PLATFORM MODERNIZATION: A GLIMPSE As an emerging technology and with budget considerations, you may be on the fence about updating your infrastructure and build products on legacy systems that may work but will underperform.

  3. 11/23/23, 3:50 PM Platform modernization, also known as legacy platform modernization or legacy app modernization, involves updating existing platforms to meet current standards and enable swift digital product development. This process includes upgrading infrastructure, architecture, and features to pave the way for future advancements. Rendering Innovation and Exemplary End-user Experiences with Product and Platform Engineering However, it’s best to consult a platform expert or a product and platform engineering services provider to determine what to modernize and prioritize where to invest when everything looks like a nail! Platform modernization services offer several crucial bene?ts: Enhanced integrations and functionality of existing applications Scalability and improved performance Improved security measures Enhanced customer experience Increased revenue streams for businesses Here are a few frontline technologies that facilitate platform modernization. Cloud-Native Platforms and Kubernetes with IaC: Initially, developers faced challenges with Kubernetes, such as complexity, security, performance optimization, etc.,  but improved tooling and platforms have made the process easier. cookies off by clicking on 'Manage Cookies'.

  4. 11/23/23, 3:50 PM Rendering Innovation and Exemplary End-user Experiences with Product and Platform Engineering utilization by running multiple isolated instances on shared infrastructure. Together, these technologies simplify platform modernization. Cloud-Native Applications and Serverless Architecture: Cloud-native applications built on serverless architecture allow small, dedicated teams to rapidly develop and deploy applications and workloads such as data processing, stream processing, and parallel processing without needing server setup and con?guration. This approach promotes hardware decoupling and facilitates adding more components in parallel. ROLE OF INTEGRATION AND AUTOMATION IN CREATING SCALABLE AND AGILE PLATFORMS Along with modernization, businesses must consider two critical platform features – agility and scalability to maximize PPE ROI. According to McKinsey, embracing enterprise agility can lead to a 20-30% improvement in ?nancial performance and a 30-50% improvement in operational performance. Achieving platform agility and scalability requires a strategic combination of integration and automation. It involves the integration of various technologies like microservices-based architectures, cloud technologies, IoT connectivity, data analytics, AI, and API integration with legacy systems. This allows organizations to respond swiftly to market changes, deliver superior products and platforms, and enhance customer experiences. However, this integration presents challenges in managing various environments (e.g., development, testing, production) and handling extensive cloud resources. Organizations risk slowing down their development process and unnecessary errors without a well-established product and platform engineering practice. To tackle these obstacles effectively, there is an urgent need for automation in the integration process. We use cookies to give you a wonderful user experience.

  5. 11/23/23, 3:50 PM Rendering Innovation and Exemplary End-user Experiences with Product and Platform Engineering APIS FOR SEAMLESS INTEGRATION IN PRODUCT AND PLATFORM ENGINEERING A question – how to bring about the integration and automation as mentioned above? The answer – APIs For example, you have a fabric business and are selling your products on the Amazon e- commerce platform alongside your company website. How would you streamline your operations so your sales, stock levels, customer reviews, etc., are consistent across both the e-commerce sites? Amazon provides APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that assist in managing and selling your products across both platforms. For example, if you want to synchronize your inventory data, you can leverage the Amazon API for inventory synchronization across Amazon and your e-commerce site. This implies, when a product is sold on either platform, the API will update the inventory levels on both, avoiding overselling or running out of stock. Similarly, Amazon’s e-commerce platform offers APIs for Product Listing and Management, Order Processing, Shipping and Tracking, Reviews and Ratings, Customer Data and Insights, Promotions and Advertising, etc. We use cookies to give you a wonderful user experience.

  6. 11/23/23, 3:50 PM Yes, these third-party services are often referred to as middleware or integration platforms. Rendering Innovation and Exemplary End-user Experiences with Product and Platform Engineering In the above example, the third-party application can be a payments app integrated with the Amazon e-commerce platform and the seller’s e-commerce website to allow a seamless payment experience for all parties (buyers, sellers, e-commerce platforms) involved in the transaction. Businesses may often have unique requirements and need a more customized approach to API integration, particularly third-party API integrations. This is best possible with the help of an in- house platform team or a service provider. BEST PRACTICES FOR INTEGRATING THIRD-PARTY APIS INTO PRODUCT AND PLATFORM ENGINEERING A poorly executed API integration can lead to subpar application performance and a negative user experience. Here are a few best practices for third-party API integration, helping businesses create e?cient and tailored product and platform engineering solutions for their needs. Refer to high-quality documentation: To fully utilize the capabilities of an API, referring to its documentation is essential. High-quality API documentation offers crucial information, including usage limitations, data input and output speci?cations, and other vital implementation details. It is a valuable guide for developers and users to maximize the API’s potential. Opt for well-tested and reliable APIs: It is vital to consider that APIs may face downtime, primarily when dependent on third-party services, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience. To mitigate this risk, opting for well-tested APIs from reputed sources allows you to thoroughly test and manage your mission-critical applications, ensuring a robust user experience. Ensure API security: APIs from reputed sources like Amazon and Google often provide enhanced data protection through encrypted connections, ensuring higher security. On the other hand, poorly secured APIs can expose your business to potential security vulnerabilities. Given the increase in data theft and hacking incidents, choosing APIs that adhere to robust security policies is essential, fortifying your data against potential threats. The more scalable the API, the better: As businesses evolve, the need for adaptability becomes paramount. Opting for a scalable API allows it to expand alongside your business, ensuring you won’t need to revamp your existing third-party integrations when choosing ?exible solutions. This scalability ensures a smoother transition and future-proofs your API integration efforts, accommodating your business’s growth without the burden of extensive rework.
