The service includes database, auth, edge functions, storage, and realtime capabilities, with features like zero-scaling compute instances, embedded dashboard components via Platform Kit, and project transfer capabilities. AI builders like Lovable and Bolt.new are already using it to create millions of projects. Platforms can manage infrastructure centrally or let users bring their own Supabase accounts through OAuth integration. 99 3 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/being-an-architect-isn-t-the-sum-of-skills-it-s-the-product--maqsrzbba "Being an architect isn’t the sum of skills. It’s the product.") Article The Architect Elevator · 38w Being an architect isn’t the sum of skills. It’s the product. Effective architects must master the intersection of multiple skill domains rather than simply accumulating separate capabilities. Architecture requires synthesizing technical expertise, communication skills, business understanding, and people management into a unified force-multiplying capability. The role demands being a technical communicator who can present complex trade-offs to executives, a technical leader who multiplies team effectiveness, and a platform builder who bridges business and technology domains. Success comes from the product of these skills working together, not their sum. 79 2 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/enhancing-developer-experience-through-mercari-s-unified-platform-interface-veg1qnzxv "Enhancing Developer Experience through Mercari’s Unified Platform Interface") Article Mercari Engineering · 39w Enhancing Developer Experience through Mercari’s Unified Platform Interface Mercari built Single Front Door (SFD), a unified platform interface that consolidates multiple developer tools and workflows into a single entry point. The system uses Argo Workflows to execute GitOps operations through CLI or AI-powered IDE integrations via Model Context Protocol. Key technical challenges included implementing OAuth-based credential management to maintain proper access control at scale, and configuring IAM with Kubernetes RBAC for secure access to external services like GCP and GitHub. The platform aims to become a modular workflow engine with reusable building blocks for infrastructure provisioning, service configuration, and CI/CD operations. 50 [See all Platform Engineering archives](/tags/platform-engineering/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/platform-engineering/best-of/2025/12#page","url":"https://daily.dev/tags/platform-engineering/best-of/2025/12","name":"Best Platform Engineering Posts — December 2025","description":"The most upvoted Platform Engineering posts from December 2025, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/platform-engineering/best-of/2025/12#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-supabase-for-platforms-9jwqsswxc","name":"Introducing Supabase for Platforms"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/being-an-architect-isn-t-the-sum-of-skills-it-s-the-product--maqsrzbba","name":"Being an architect isn’t the sum of skills.
