It made 5 more Platform Engineering Team Myths

Platform engineers should consider joining infrastructure teams since they already have the knowledge and experience necessary to undertake these duties

People often worry that building a platform engineering teams will take a large number of extra staff members

[{"selector":"#anim-7a128b8e-3217-4748-a7ea-1a89cecc0984 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.235351448636845%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5fc1cae8-bdd7-4b58-b485-258fbbe30b4f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Google SRE’s history of sublinear scaling is one model to take into account

[{"selector":"#anim-417fca44-9bf5-4ddd-b7d5-26ae84b0565e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb8a3d0a-2596-451f-b71d-8f4e964afaab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-577581a5-36e0-4d84-bd3c-b812427f579d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.11321%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

By automating infrastructure, configuration, and deployment processes, manual labour is decreased

To bootstrap a platform engineering teams, it can be helpful to start with some pre-made MVPs

[{"selector":"#anim-ab6162c0-5535-4c9c-b763-3a9c17aaa35b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.284090795523493%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2d93efd-10ec-4ed7-8998-801bb512dcfe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa18d287-bf23-4688-9560-ea2df138c46e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 123.99290%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

To reduce the cognitive load on development and operations teams, platform engineers proactively assess, identify, and take targeted action against jobs or processes that fall into this category

[{"selector":"#anim-b2adec3e-0c2a-403b-b6c5-87a9680a5900 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.249999904429615%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d046884a-d91d-4437-81b4-651dbf1e56f5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Specialising in large-scale software development, Platform Engineering is a logical progression of DevOps
