Platform engineering for small teams
A lightweight approach to developer experience without building a full platform org.
Start with the friction list
Slow builds, unclear deploy steps, and one-off scripts drain energy from small teams.
List the top three pain points and fix those first.
Thin platform, real impact
You do not need a platform team to get platform value.
A few shared tools, a clean repo template, and stable CI can cut hours every week.
Self-service is the goal
The best platform work makes common tasks easy without asking for help.
If a new engineer can ship on day one, the platform is doing its job.
Measure the change
Track cycle time and deploy frequency before and after the updates.
If those improve, the investment is paying off.
