Why do organizations end up with multiple platform teams building the same infrastructure? In this episode, we explore the platform multiplication problem—how well-intentioned teams create duplicated effort, fragmented systems, and wasted resources across the organization.
What You'll Learn:
- Why platform teams naturally duplicate effort across organizations
- The hidden costs of fragmented infrastructure and tooling
- How team autonomy leads to platform proliferation
- The difference between platform teams and platform engineering
- Why unified delivery systems matter for scale
- Practical approaches to consolidating platform efforts
Key Insight: Platform multiplication happens when teams optimize locally without understanding the global delivery system. The result? Multiple teams solving the same problems, fragmented infrastructure, and wasted resources that could be invested in actual business value.
