Scaling Platform as a Product
I was joined by Tim Jacomb (https://twitter.com/Tjaynz) in this talk, we give an insight into building a successful developer platform that aligns principals and standards which can be reused by a small customer to large enterprise organisations. Providing team autonomy development velocity is increased by reducing multiple team dependencies because time to deploy is solely dependent on a single team. Faster feedback loop for developers means faster time to market
We adopted a platform engineering approach focused on creating the tools which enable teams to self-serve - We wanted to do the hard work, so users didn’t have to.
This means that by focusing on the small details of improving developer experience, shaving seconds off developers build cycle, we can save vastly more by removing wasted time. Whenever there is a hand-off or delay, we look to remove it so that developers can remain focused on their task.
