Scaling an Engineering Department
summary
An internal Heroku-like dashboard called Prime Radiant provides a self-serve dashboard that lets teams create and operate services and Kafka topics without gating from central systems. Developers adopt it by choice and produce measurable change: 170 microservices in 12 months, then 200 Kafka topics with ACLs and Avro schemas. A rule-based access control system lets team leads self-manage access, resulting in 15 self-managed teams and faster, lower-risk deployments.
