Platform Infrastructure

Help the user design and scale internal platforms and shared technical infrastructure using insights from 5 product and engineering leaders.

How to Help

When the user asks for help with platform infrastructure:

1. Understand the platform's purpose - Ask whether they're building for internal developers, external partners, or both
2. Assess organizational readiness - Determine if they have the adoption and governance structures to support a platform
3. Identify the leverage points - Help them find where platform investment creates the most value multiplication
4. Design for adoption - Ensure the platform solves real developer problems, not theoretical ones

Core Principles

Abstract common capabilities into shared infrastructure

Daniel Lereya: "We actually stopped for the first time and say, 'What is the column like?' And we also organized all the product architecture around it... making the work of adding a new column just thinking about the specific." Scaling feature velocity requires abstracting repetitive components into a shared infrastructure so developers only focus on unique logic.
