Overview
As software systems scale, organizations often face platforms that are fragmented, difficult to maintain, or unaligned with team needs. Instead of accelerating delivery, these platforms can slow progress by adding complexity that creates ineffective communication between teams. This book offers a clear, practical approach to overcoming those challenges, providing the tools to manage platforms that are efficient and built for sustainable success.
Software engineers Lesley Cordero and Jez Humble present an actionable framework for building platforms that enhance delivery speed and improve system reliability and the overall developer experience without sacrificing security or stability. You'll learn how to define key components across technical, organizational, and social dimensions while reducing unnecessary complexity and connecting platform decisions to overarching business goals.
With real-world examples, proven metrics, and pragmatic guidance, this is your go-to resource for achieving platform success at scale.
- Design scalable, sustainable platforms that evolve with your organization
- Avoid common pitfalls in platform transitions from monoliths to microservices and beyond
- Build internal developer platforms (IDPs) that boost velocity and reduce friction
- Measure what matters with DORA metrics, SLOs, and maturity models
- Foster a culture that supports platform adoption, responds effectively to sociotechnical incidents, and adapts to change
