Build golden paths for day 50, not for day 1!
When most people think about creating golden paths, they think about the simple scaffolding use case of a new service or resource. However, this leaves out the remaining 99% of golden paths you can and should design for your developers. Here’s how to design sustainable golden paths that help both developers and platform engineers.
Talk abstract
Platform engineering is more than configuring starter templates to scaffold a new service or resource. Standardizing only the creation of a component has little impact if we look at the entire lifecycle of the component. In this talk Kaspar will walk through the logic on how to build and design scalable golden paths across the entire life-cycle of an application. He will go into detail about how to think of every release as day 0 and a chance to “clean up” and reduce technical debt.
In this talk, you’ll learn:
- Why focusing on Day 1 golden paths isn’t enough
- How to design and build scalable golden paths across the entire lifecycle of an application
- Why you should think of every release as an opportunity to “clean up” and reduce technical debt
