-
01
Start with developer friction
Interview or simulate one service team and rank its recurring setup, deploy, security, and operations pain.
Proof: A friction map with one measurable platform objective. -
02
Run the workload safely
Package one service and define requests, limits, health probes, configuration, identity, and rollout behavior.
Proof: A reviewed Kubernetes workload with a failed-health recovery test. -
03
Create one golden path
Turn the secure defaults into a reusable service template with documented escape hatches.
Proof: A self-service template that produces a deployable service. -
04
Measure platform value
Track lead time, deployment reliability, adoption, support burden, and one developer-experience signal.
Proof: A platform scorecard and a decision to improve, keep, or remove one feature.
