A big thank you to everyone who came today and welcome to the new folks. All your contributions were 🥇 Some of the topics that came up today... • Can internal developer platforms and vendor solutions exist at the same time, or will one eat the other? (Spoiler - they can co-exist in highly positive ways) • How to measure success or prove value? • Applying maturity (and capability) models to software teams and platform teams • Should you consider a platform if you are big, small, startup? Great takes on when size applies and when it might not • Golden paths and concrete tunnels (this was the first time I heard the "concrete tunnels" label and I loved that) • Are platforms just for developers/programmers or can other people in the business use parts of them? • What does the freedom to not use the platform mean? Total chaos or freedom within some kind of limit. Thanks for the vibrant discussion and all the amazing perspectives. Hope to see you all next time.
