The Importance of a Platform Team
Establishing a platform team is essential for large enterprises to ensure a coherent and manageable infrastructure. It allows for standardization in application deployment, which aids in maintaining security and efficiency across the organization. By having a centralized platform team, organizations can preemptively address potential issues before they escalate into significant problems, reducing remediation time and effort. Without this structured approach, organizations face the chaos of disparate deployment methods that could lead to security vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies.
