Driving Platform Adoption: Embedded SRE
summary
Company adopts Backstage as a catalog and self‑service layer but faces low uptake, so a central platform team of 10–15 platform engineers supporting ~120 developers runs time‑limited embedded engagements to migrate services to the golden path. Early wins come from picking easy services and pairing, migrations fall like dominoes, but legacy services resist. Handing ownership to app teams, appointing a single owner, and having senior leaders attend sessions increase engagement, yet the program remains mid‑course and iterative.
