Platform Engineering (PE) :A discipline that automates the delivery of software and services to developers through self-service capabilities, enhancing scalability, reliability, and efficiency for SaaS companies.
Digital Transformation :The process of leveraging digital technologies to fundamentally change how businesses operate and deliver value to customers. It includes adopting cloud services, AI/ML, and automation.
MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) :A practice that unifies machine learning system development (Dev) and machine learning system operations (Ops). It enables automation, scalability, and the seamless integration of ML models into production.
Cloud Migration :The process of transferring data, applications, and workloads from on-premises or legacy systems to a cloud infrastructure, offering scalability, enhanced security, and cost savings.
Managed Services : Outsourced IT services that proactively manage and monitor an organization’s technology infrastructure, including cybersecurity, cloud management, and system monitoring.
Internal Development Platform (IDP) : A platform built to streamline the development process by providing development teams with self-service capabilities, allowing engineers to focus on coding while automating infrastructure and operations.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) : A branch of computer science focused on building smart machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving and decision-making.
Machine Learning (ML) : A subset of AI that allows systems to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
Cloud-Native : Refers to applications designed specifically to operate in cloud environments, leveraging cloud computing for scalability, flexibility, and resilience.
Cybersecurity : Measures and practices used to protect IT systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, or damage. This includes encryption, firewalls, and vulnerability management.
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) : A system that provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware, helping organizations detect and respond to security threats.
DevOps (Development and Operations) : A set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops), aiming to shorten the system development life cycle while delivering high-quality software.
SaaS (Software as a Service) : A software distribution model where applications are hosted in the cloud and made available to users over the internet, typically via a subscription model.
Cloud Scalability : The ability to increase or decrease IT resources as needed in a cloud environment, enabling companies to manage traffic spikes and optimize resource use.
Data Privacy : The handling of personal data in a way that complies with regulations, ensuring confidentiality and security.
Data Security : The protection of data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.
API (Application Programming Interface) : A set of protocols and tools for building software applications. It specifies how software components should interact and allows different systems to communicate.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) : A cloud computing service that offers essential compute, storage, and networking resources on demand, allowing businesses to scale their infrastructure without physical hardware.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) : A cloud-based service that ensures business continuity by backing up data and IT infrastructure, enabling recovery after a disaster or system failure.
Remote Work : A work style that allows employees to work outside of a traditional office environment, often facilitated by cloud-based technologies and collaboration tools.
Automation : The use of technology to perform tasks without human intervention, improving efficiency, reducing errors, and speeding up processes.
Collaboration Tools : Software solutions that enable teams to work together, communicate, and share information regardless of their physical location. Examples include Google Meet and Slack.
Business Continuity : A strategy to ensure that critical business functions can continue during and after a disaster or disruption.
CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) A DevOps methodology that ensures frequent and reliable delivery of software updates by automating the integration, testing, and deployment process.
Edge Computing : A distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, reducing latency and improving performance.
