## Edge Developer Framework Solution Overview
> This section is derived from [conceptual-onboarding-intro](../conceptual-onboarding/1_intro/)
1. As presented in the introduction: We have the ['Edge Developer Framework'](./edgel-developer-framework/). \
In short the mission is:
* Build a european edge cloud IPCEI-CIS
* which contains typical layers infrastructure, platform, application
* and on top has a new layer 'developer platform'
* which delivers a **cutting edge developer experience** and enables **easy deploying** of applications onto the IPCEI-CIS
2. We think the solution for EDF is in relation to ['Platforming' (Digital Platforms)](../conceptual-onboarding/3_platforming/)
1. The next evolution after DevOps
2. Gartner predicts 80% of SWE companies to have platforms in 2026
3. Platforms have a history since roundabout 2019
4. CNCF has a working group which created capabilities and a maturity model
3. Platforms evolve - nowadys there are [Platform Orchestrators](../conceptual-onboarding/4_orchestrators/)
1. Humanitec set up a Reference Architecture
2. There is this 'Orchestrator' thing - declaratively describe, customize and change platforms!
4. Mapping our assumptions to the [CNOE solution](../conceptual-onboarding/5_cnoe/)
1. CNOE is a hot candidate to help and fulfill our platform building
2. CNOE aims to embrace change and customization!
## 2. Platforming as the result of DevOps
### DevOps since 2010
![alt text](DevOps-Lifecycle.jpg)
* from 'left' to 'right' - plan to monitor
* 'leftshift'
* --> turns out to be a right shift for developers with cognitive overload
* 'DevOps isd dead' -> we need Platforms
### Platforming to provide 'golden paths'
> don't mix up 'golden paths' with pipelines or CI/CD

#### Short list of platform using companies
As [Gartner states](https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-11-28-gartner-hype-cycle-shows-ai-practices-and-platform-engineering-will-reach-mainstream-adoption-in-software-engineering-in-two-to-five-years): "By 2026, 80% of software engineering organizations will establish platform teams as internal providers of reusable services, components and tools for application delivery."
Here is a small list of companies alrteady using IDPs:
* Spotify
* Airbnb
* Zalando
* Uber
* Netflix
* Salesforce
* Google
* Booking.com
* Amazon
* Autodesk
* Adobe
* Cisco
* ...
## 3 Platform building by 'Orchestrating'
So the goal of platforming is to build a 'digital platform' which fits [this architecture](https://www.gartner.com/en/infrastructure-and-it-operations-leaders/topics/platform-engineering) ([Ref. in German)](https://www.gartner.de/de/artikel/was-ist-platform-engineering):

### Digital Platform blue print: Reference Architecture
The blue print for such a platform is given by the reference architecture from Humanitec:
[Platform Orchestrators](../conceptual-onboarding/4_orchestrators/)
### Digital Platform builder: CNOE
Since 2023 this is done by 'orchestrating' such platforms. One orchestrator is the [CNOE solution](../conceptual-onboarding/5_cnoe/), which highly inspired our approach.
In our orchestartion engine we think in 'stacks' of 'packages' containing platform components.
## 4 Sticking all together: Our current platform orchestrating generated platform
Sticking together the platforming orchestration concept, the reference architecture and the CNOE stack solution, [this is our current running platform minimum viable product](../plan-in-2024/image-2024-8-14_10-50-27.png).
This will now be presented! Enjoy!
