Abstract
The evolution of software development can be traced parallel to the recent industrial revolutions, which have significantly changed modern society. Recent advancements have transformed how software is created, distributed, and utilized. In the digitalization of industry, software development is created by using innovative solutions for artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and more. Platform engineering evolves DevOps by integrating development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) for enhancing developer experience and accelerating customer value delivery. This paper maps the current landscape of platform engineering and its adoption across industries. Additionally, it also makes recommendations for further research for understanding, advancing the state of the art, and fostering the adoption of platform engineering within the software development industry.
