Bridging the Layers: Platform Engineering in the Modern Network
summary
Claim: combining a service mesh, API gateway, zero trust and programmable infra materially improves ops and dev velocity. The concrete stack uses STO and linker for east‑west mTLS, engine X like an APG Kong for ingress and developer access, terraform and Argo CD for reproducible deployments, and zero trust (speedpie and Google's beyond corp models) for continuous identity checks. One example reports reduced meantime disk recovery to 40% and markedly higher developer adoption after those changes.
