Lab Overview

🛠 Lab from the Platform Engineering Bootcamp. Used in Week 1. Bootcamp landing page: https://academy.tekanaid.com/bootcamps/platform-engineering-bootcamp Parent course(s):

  • Week 1: DevOps & Platform Engineering Overview (slug: devops-platform-engineering-overview)

🟡 Beta bootcamp lab. Hands-on instructions, check scripts, and solve scripts are in place. Lab is part of the running TaskFlow project that grows across all 21 weeks of the bootcamp.

In this project, you'll apply the DevOps culture principles you've learned to create a vision for TaskFlow, the task management platform you'll build throughout the bootcamp.

This isn't just a planning exercise - it's your first practice thinking like a platform engineer who understands both technical and business perspectives. You'll define what TaskFlow should be, who it serves, and how it creates value.

By the end of this project, you'll have:

  • A clear vision for the TaskFlow platform
  • Core features with business justification
  • User stories from a DevOps perspective
  • Success metrics to measure platform value
