How We Revolutionized Developer Experience With 3.5 Platform Engineers

Revolutionizing developer experience with cloud native projects

• Unblocking developers by removing bottlenecks
• Removing time-consuming tasks from platform team and developers
• Using external DNS to streamline deployment process
• Focusing on developer experience to improve productivity
• Building a platform with a golden path approach

The speaker shares how her team used external DNS to unblock developers and streamline the deployment process. They added annotations to each service to indicate which DNS record it should have and faked the TXT records in Cloudflare to track ownership. This resulted in a total self-serve process with little education needed for team members and developers to set up their own DNS records.

As a small team there is a lot of leverage to be gained from using cloud native projects, but the task might seem daunting and something that you need to have a very large organisation to have any use of. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Join this case study and learn how Jessica and her team of three and a half Platform Engineers revolutionized the developer experience for 30 developers at Annotell with the help of cloud native projects.
