Platform Engineering

One-pizza teams

Small is purposeful and efficient. Large teams create overhead with diminishing returns.

Coordination cost grows faster than headcount. Large teams create status meetings, ownership fog, and work that exists to justify the roster.

Keep teams small enough that intent stays sharp and communication stays cheap. One pizza is a metaphor for focus, not a catering policy.

Couple small teams with clear platform boundaries so they can move without inventing their own private infrastructure each time.
