Module 1.2

Platforms provide developers with standardized development environments and tools to improve collaboration. They offer version control and code sharing through tools like Git and GitHub. Continuous integration and delivery platforms automate testing and deployment to reduce bugs and speed release cycles. Containerization platforms improve efficiency of deploying and managing applications at scale. Platforms also help ensure security and compliance. Low-code platforms allow non-developers to build applications with minimal coding.

Role of platforms in

modern software
development
Development Environment
• Platforms provide developers with a standardized
and consistent development environment. This
helps in reducing the "it works on my machine"
problem by ensuring that all team members are
working with the same tools, libraries, and
configurations. This consistency improves
collaboration and reduces deployment issues.
Version Control and Collaboration
• Platformsoffer version control systems (e.g.,
Git) and collaboration tools (e.g., GitHub,
GitLab) that enable multiple developers to
work on the same project simultaneously.
These tools facilitate code sharing, tracking
changes, resolving conflicts, and ensuring
that the codebase remains stable and up-to-
date.
API Development
• CI/CDplatforms (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI, Travis
CI) automate the process of building, testing,
and deploying software changes. These
platforms ensure that code changes are tested
thoroughly and deployed to production
environments efficiently, reducing the risk of
introducing bugs and speeding up the release
cycle.
Monitoring and Logging
• Platformslike Docker provide
containerization, which encapsulates
applications and their dependencies in
isolated environments. Container
orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes
enable the management and scaling of
containerized applications, making
deployment and maintenance more efficient.
Security and Compliance
• Platformsprovide security tools and
practices to help developers build
secure software and adhere to industry
regulations. This includes encryption,
access control, authentication, and
vulnerability scanning.
Low-Code and No-Code Platforms
• These
platforms empower non-
developers to create software
applications with minimal coding effort.
They are especially useful for rapidly
developing prototypes, internal tools,
and certain types of applications.
