Bad abstractions: 5 practical rules for building successful platforms
In this webinar, Natan Yellin will explore 5 practical rules for building effective platforms with a great developer experience. He will examine the do’s and don’ts for platform building, the practical rules for deciding what, and when to abstract, and why platform teams might be making a mistake focusing on abstracting away a well developed but complex underlying platform like Kubernetes.
Natan will share his experience as an engineer and his experience working with customers building enterprise platforms.
In this talk you will learn:
- What to abstract and not to abstract
- How the abstractions you choose will later impact the burden (and joy) of supporting teams that use your platform
- Shortcuts for reducing the support burden from platform users, and how to make developer self-service a reality
