Most platform initiatives fail. Train your team to be the exception.
Why platform initiatives fail
Team misalignment
73% of orgs say their engineers aren’t even aligned on what the platform is meant to do, leading to delays and failed launches.
AI leaves you behind
AI-augmented development is accelerating. Without the right platform skills, your team risks falling behind and becoming irrelevant.
No dev adoption
Most platforms don't fail on the tech, they fail on adoption. 60% never get developer adoption, and the whole initiative fails.

The challenge
Scaling a massive platform org with 300+ contributors
OUR ROLE
Led a 3-day workshop to align the team on a shared platform vision
OUTCOME
- Created a joint platform mission across teams
- Designed a Minimum Viable Platform (MVP) to move forward
“Thanks to Mallory and Platform Engineering for a fantastic week. Stepping away from our day-to-day to focus on formalizing our Internal Developer Platform has been incredibly valuable. After three years on our platform journey, this marks a major milestone as we partner with dev teams to deliver our Minimal Viable Platform and prepare to scale to over 10,000 developers by 2026.”

Why us
We’ve seen more platforms than anyone. The good, the bad, the ugly.
We run the #1 platform engineering community. 40k+ people building platforms, sharing what works.
We started this. We coined “Platform Engineering” and “Internal Developer Platform.”
Skip the pain. Don’t waste 18 months figuring it out. Use the playbooks that work.
It’s all real. Everything we teach comes from teams actually running platforms today.
