Learn agentic platform engineering, in order
No course to buy, no gated content. A five-step path through this site — plus the external ecosystem worth reading, credited where the industry is converging.
The path, on this site
Start with the definition
What agentic platform engineering is, and the AI-assisted vs agentic distinction that keeps the term honest.
See the architecture
The governed action loop and its planes — perception through observability, identity as its own pillar.
Learn the principles
Seven load-bearing rules, from "agents consume platforms, not raw infrastructure" to human authority over the irreversible.
Locate yourself on the ladder
The L0–L5 maturity model across eight dimensions — and how each rung is earned per action class.
Run the demo
42 policy violations from a raw model, zero after three governed iterations, human-held production approval. Fork it and check the work.
The ecosystem, credited
The term is becoming an industry category from several directions at once — we link out honestly, including to framings that differ from ours. Neutrality is the site's whole position.
Platform Engineering University — agentic platforms
university.platformengineering.orgStructured courses on evolving IDPs into agentic development platforms; independently frames golden paths as agent-executable contracts.
Microsoft — agentic-platform-engineering (GitHub)
github.com/microsoftgbbMicrosoft GBB reference implementation and writing on agentic platform engineering. The augmentation-first framing; useful contrast with ours.
CNCF TAG App Delivery
tag-app-delivery.cncf.ioThe community home for platform engineering definitions and whitepapers in the cloud-native ecosystem.
OPA documentation
openpolicyagent.orgPolicy-as-code from first principles — the gate every governed action passes through.
Score specification
score.devThe workload spec the demo uses: intent in, platform-rendered implementation out.
OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions
opentelemetry.ioThe emerging vocabulary for tracing model and agent activity.
Best next step: run the demo — fifteen minutes, no cluster, no API key — then read the case study to see what you just did.
