A QCon San Francisco 2025 conference talk (video and transcript now available) explores how applying the Team Topologies concept of a platform team reduces the burden on development teams implementing microservice architecture patterns. Instead of writing plumbing code and managing infrastructure, teams can focus on domain logic. The talk covers several types of platforms — service foundation, security, infrastructure services, observability, build, and deployment — and the capabilities each provides. An accompanying 8-part article series dives deeper into each platform type.
