Achieving High Performance with an Internal Developer Platform
summary
Describes an internal developer platform built on GitHub, Travis CI, Spinnaker, Kubernetes on AWS, CloudFormation, Grafana Cloud and homegrown glue that lets teams scaffold, deploy and monitor a microservice in about five minutes. Chooses an Golden Path covering ~80% of use cases with escape hatches for teams that must opt out. Platform team work since 2017 reduces cross-team effort (example: a logging swap avoided ~180 pull requests from 40 teams and ~60 reviews) and optimizes for successful deployments as the north star.
