Lab Overview

In this strategic lab, you'll take on the role of a platform engineering consultant helping a fast-growing startup build their first internal developer platform (IDP).

You'll learn to think strategically about platform engineering by addressing real challenges: What capabilities should a platform provide? How should platform teams be structured? What's the right balance between self-service and support?

This lab teaches the business and organizational thinking that separates platform engineers from traditional infrastructure engineers.

By the end of this lab, you'll understand how to:

  • Assess developer experience gaps and platform opportunities
  • Design platform capabilities that accelerate development teams
  • Structure platform teams for maximum impact
  • Create a platform roadmap aligned with business goals
