Why are developer experiences important?
The ‘value’ of time a human spends at most software companies is 20–100x the value of machine time because of human expertise in decision-making and high costs of automation. Optimizing capabilities must always be done to save developer time and effort. The technology landscape evolves rapidly and instilling a robust developer experience is key to driving success in the modern software development lifecycle. Maintaining a high degree of clarity in optimizing the developer experience yields several benefits. Happy developers are more likely to be productive and innovate, reducing cognitive load and leading to faster and more reliable software releases. They collaborate better and stay updated with the latest technology offerings, making them more adaptable to change management.
Platform engineering to the rescue
Platform engineering services provide composable and replaceable self-help capabilities. It can accelerate application delivery and the pace at which developers produce business value. By 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will establish platform engineering teams as internal providers of reusable services, components, and tools for application delivery. Platform engineering will ultimately solve the central problem of cooperation between software developers and operators (Gartner).
GenAI’s role in platform engineering
One of the challenges in leveraging GenAI is the occurrence of hallucinations—instances where AI generates information that seems plausible but is inaccurate or irrelevant. These hallucinations can disrupt processes, particularly in high-stakes platform environments where precision and reliability are key. To mitigate such disruption, performance gaps in GenAI tools are supplemented with Brillio’s proprietary IP and accelerators. These solutions ensure that when GenAI falls short, Brillio’s enhancements provide the necessary accuracy and operational consistency, addressing any discrepancies that might arise from hallucinations or tool limitations.
