The Platform Engineering Podcast is about how we build, ship, and operate software, and why so much of it is still harder than it needs to be. Hosted by Cory O'Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Massdriver, the show brings together the people who built the tools we rely on and the engineers figuring out what comes next. From the creators of Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes to the teams rethinking CI/CD, infrastructure automation, security, and developer experience, we dig into how these systems work, why they were designed that way, where they fall short, and what we'd do differently today. We talk architecture, engineering decisions, organizational problems, and the tradeoffs that don't fit neatly into conference talks or vendor demos. Sometimes that means questioning practices the industry has treated as gospel for twenty years. It's for engineers building internal developer platforms, running production infrastructure, or curious how software engineering got here and where it's going.
