Hey everyone, nice to meet you. I'm based in Manchester but this is the closest location I have 😄 I was wondering if anyone in the channel has experience of building a

web platform

like team/capability within their org? We currently have team(s) focused on building platform capabilities for the web stack. Examples are: • Opinionated ways to build a micro front end • CFRs such as... ◦ Observability of client errors ◦ Web performance • Handling JS bundles properly • Governance • GraphQL architecture My tech lead was interested (as would I) to connect with teams who've invested in this space as well.

I work on HMRC Tax platform. The platform has very opinionated ways (the golden path) of how to create a web frontend, backend, along with the platform providing build/deploy,logging, and monitoring services. AMA

I've built a couple at mid sized companies. The big overlap may be that I have experience introducing a platform when the wild west was more the way of the world 😅

Nice to meet you both 🙂

Yes, similar setup, Build and Deploy team, Infra, Dev Support, Telemetry

Yea, sorry didn't mean to suggest otherwise. Just was saying I had to take a journey towards corralling platform offerings into a self service platform.

Frontends are prototyped with the Gov.uk prototype first, then translated into a Play framework web app. https://prototype-kit.service.gov.uk/docs/

So the apps are classic MVC apps?

Pretty much. https://www.playframework.com/ with MongoDB

Yea I'm aware of Play though I've never used it
