If you only have a few teams in your company/organization, then you are not at a scale that necessitates a platform team and this discussion isn't for you.
When dozens of teams need a shared capability (e.g. for ad serving across many verticals at a FAANG), then you absolutely need one or more.

- lightbendover 3y agoI'll be the first to agree that most orgs do not need a platform team.
- Foobar8568 3y agoOh really? One team for managing IAM, one team per S3, one team for file process automation, one team for process management, one team handling the producer process, one team handling the consuming process, same for application on both side, the client who actually need the request +everything else. One team for a shared platform where it makes sense, sure, but everywhere, like it's some factory chain is the biggest waste of productivity.
