Explore the evolution of cloud platform team structures in this 15-minute conference talk from GOTO Amsterdam 2024. Dive into the characteristics of effective platform teams, the impact of cloud-native technologies like serverless, and the role of Team Topologies in organizing modern development environments. Learn how composable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions, particularly the Cloud Development Kit (CDK), enable platform teams to adopt product release cycles and embed best practices. Examine the importance of hexagonal architecture in facilitating composable testing patterns for IaC building blocks and its effect on release cycles. Gain insights from real-world examples of a platform team building serverless CDK constructs used by over 150 engineers, and understand the organizational approaches needed to scale cloud teams effectively in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
