Episode notes
Platforms Lower Cognitive Load
- Platforms reduce cognitive load by providing self-service and consistency for application teams.
- Proper platforms can cut cost, training, and snowflake environments when designed well.
Primitives Make Reliable Platforms
- Delivering basic primitives like compute, storage, and networking at scale is a proven platform approach.
- Those primitive services form a reusable foundation for both IaaS and higher-level platforms.
Make Platforms Flexible Enough
- Design platforms to onboard systems that deviate from your standards rather than rejecting them outright.
- Build flexibility so teams with snowflake needs can still join the platform without breaking it.
