Building bridges: Driving platform adoption through shared responsibility

Building a platform that fosters adoption across diverse teams presents a significant challenge. Each team has unique needs, and a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach can lead to frustration. So, how can organizations design platforms that teams genuinely want to use? This talk introduces a shared responsibility model that brings platform teams, SREs, and application developers together to foster collaboration over conflict. By establishing adaptable architectural patterns, defining meaningful SLIs/SLOs, and aligning with team-specific needs, platform engineers can encourage organic platform adoption. Attendees will learn best practices for breaking down silos, building trust, and creating platforms that teams are eager to engage with. Key takeaways include insights into designing flexible platform architectures, fostering inter-team collaboration, and creating an environment where platforms are more than just tools but essential to day-to-day workflows.
