what is platform orchestration?
Platform orchestration empowers engineers to easily access and utilize platform capabilities. It's about building self-service tools that abstract away the underlying complexities. For instance, instead of needing in-depth knowledge to set up a database, engineers can use a simple interface to provision one themselves. Platform orchestration engineers create these interfaces and connect them to the platform engineering tools that handle the actual database creation. This allows engineers to focus on their core tasks, not infrastructure management.
