#273: Platform engineering plays a crucial role in modern software delivery. The platform engineering team is responsible for creating a development environment that is both productive and scalable. However, many platform engineers might not be familiar with foundational software design principles, and this can lead to inefficiencies and technical debt.

One such principle is the three-tier architecture model, a concept that seems to have become lost amidst the rapid evolution of technology.

In this episode, we speak with Daniel Bryant, the Head of Product Marketing at Syntasso, about how we can take the three-tier architecture model and apply it to building our platforms and portals.
