Hi All I m curious if anyone has any good resources on how organizations are drawing lines of responsibility for platform engineering teams vs what the engineering teams are individually responsible for One of the areas I m particularly interested in right now is mobile app deployment We have most of it automated but there are a handful of steps still required and a short manual verification process Are other platform teams taking ownership of this or having the engineering teams be responsible

In previous lives we vacillated back and forth here for an app that had 1B+ clients desktop + mobile The best I can say is that mobile is very specific and we got better alignment early on by having it vertically integrated Later we standardized some things esp as AWS launched OS X systems etc

Andrew Fong · Answer

What we found was that mobile was less mature in their operational ecosystems and had vastly different requirements so vertically integrated made more sense No silver bullet and a place to not be dogmatic

This has changed over time so if you re a mobile only shop probably having a mobile platform makes sense slightly smiling face
