The Ultimate Cloud Platform Team Topology
summary
Platform teams build composable Serverless CDK constructs in TypeScript, publish them as versioned npm packages, and ship CDK L2+ constructs that bake company policies like blocked public S3 by default. Those constructs replace repeated tickets and late approvals, reduce cognitive load across a 150+ engineer organization, and let feature teams compose secure building blocks while the platform team retains ownership and a product-style release cadence, resulting in faster flow to production.
