Platform Engineering

Hey!

I have set up our Core Services team, which does something similar. Namely, the services that power 30+ other product teams (we’re ~35 teams).

Kitchen sink is _the hardest_ challenge. However, that’s for almost all platform teams. I think you’d like Will Larson’s (from <http://lethain.com|lethain.com>) podcast on this topic =&gt; <https://getdx.com/podcast/will-larson-staffing-infrastructure-teams>. Namely, how to challenge the “sounds like a platform problem to me”.

Similar problem exist for platform teams providing tools and libraries internally. I talked partly on this topic at PlatformCON
