What are platforms and why are they beneficial for companies?
Chris, the Head of Technology at ThoughtWorks, discusses the concept of platforms. Platforms are an investment by companies to centralize certain aspects of a role for the benefit of other teams. The platform team at Chris's B2B SaaS company owns the cloud infrastructure and provides tools and processes for software engineers to write, build, test, and deploy code. The goal is to increase productivity, efficiency, and quality output within the engineering organization.
