I don't see the problem has been solved yet, that there arestill so many opportunities. I wonder if we should maybe, maybe all think about the elephant in the room. We'll have one hand each on an elephant and that elephant has cloud found you written on it. Cateis arguably a platform building technology, rather than a platform you can offer to enduces in a kind of meaningful, consumable way.

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!
