In the previous lecture, I took you on a journey of nearly ten years of middle platform development, understood the background of middle platform development from the perspective of time, and also helped you analyze some of the reasons behind the rise of middle platform.
However, when we talked about it in the end, until now, there is still a lot of confusion about the concept of the middle platform. What exactly is the middle platform? What should the middle platform look like? What are the types? What is the value to the enterprise? Do I need to build a middle platform?

In the next lecture, I will take you to explore the essence of middle platforms and answer your doubts.
