PaaS Platform Engineering

What You Will Learn

• 1 Learn the core principles and architectural patterns of Platform-as-a-Service engineering, including control planes, multi-tenancy, and self-service APIs.
• 2 Understand how to design and implement a multi-tenant, self-service PaaS using Kubernetes and container orchestration with resource isolation and quota management.
• 3 Build and manage a secure and compliant platform with identity, access control, secret management, and network policies.
• 4 Implement CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows for automated application deployment on the platform with rollback and approval gates.
• 5 Configure observability, monitoring, and logging for both platform and tenant workloads, integrating Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana.
• 6 Design service catalogs and abstraction layers that simplify developer onboarding and resource provisioning through a unified API.
• 7 Apply cost management and capacity planning strategies for multi-tenant PaaS environments, including chargeback and resource optimization.
• 8 Implement disaster recovery, backup, and high availability patterns for platform reliability, including cross-region failover.
• 9 Integrate external services, APIs, and event-driven architectures into the platform using webhooks and message queues.
• 10 Develop operational runbooks, automation scripts, and self-healing mechanisms for day-2 operations, including incident response and scaling.
