Tribe Lead Global Platform, Signicat

I have worked my way through three platform technology paradigm shifts from bare metal, to VMs, to cloud, to containers in different high growth environments. Experienced as individual contributor, CTO and Tribe Lead Global Platform with distributed teams across multiple development hubs.

Why treat your new Internal Developer Platform as a startup
Know your target market. Validate your idea. Build a minimum viable platform (MVP). Iterate and improve. Sound familiar? Even the most technically perfect solution is useless if nobody is using it. Launching a new Internal Developer Platform shares many of the same characteristics as running a startup. This means that a lot of the same product management tactics also work here! So get ready to wear many hats.

Simplified infrastructure with Istio (yes, really!)
Istio is known by many names: Service Mesh, API Gateway, Nightmare-Inducing-Software. It has been criticized for being very complex and difficult to use. In Signicat, Istio represents the boundary between platform teams and service teams and replaces a number of other tools and processes. The result for us was more features with fewer moving parts!
