How to Build the Best Platforms for Software Engineers

How to Build the Best Platforms for Software Engineers

Is your internal developer platform actually improving velocity, or is it a bottleneck? We discuss why platform teams building "cool" abstractions is a red flag, and you should aim to create the best platform for software engineers.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Why "Golden Paths" can turn into roadblocks for developers.
  • The danger of Shadow IT and why it’s a symptom of a failed platform.
  • How to measure if your platform is saving time.
