Cloud fandry was amazing and i learnt so, so much from it. I wish we had recorded our conversation seven years ago. We're near the end of that journey. There's a huge swelling rising platforms at the moment. But you ask me to do something in that talk, which i haven't done,. And i will do during this recording, and i explain to others later. So seven years ago, you asked beas to do something. I didn't forget. I just couldn't do it at the time. It's coming.I just bee waited for seven years to do this di yes. Now, we'll come back to this.

Episode notes
In 2014 Gerhard joined CloudCredo, a startup co-founded by Colin Humphreys, Paula Kennedy & Chris Hedley. They stuck together through two acquisitions: Pivotal & VMware. This year, Colin, Paula & Chris co-founded Syntasso, the Platform-as-a-Product startup.
Today they all get together to talk about about what it takes to build a platform team, why Team Topologies is a good conversation starter and why a curated blend of off-the-shelf, composed, and self-created services are required in any organisation operating at scale.
Your hunch is right, all of them used to share the same Pivotal London office with Tammer Saleh, our guest from episode 31. Chris used to win all table tennis matches without even breaking a sweat, and today Gerhard gets his comeback. Touché!
