Platform Engineering Playbook: Autonomy + Standards | Episode 27

Most engineering failures can be traced back to two weak points: unclear standards or excessive autonomy. This episode presents a structured examination of how platform engineering resolves this tension to create resilient systems. Duncan and Jason break down the cause-and-effect chains behind incidents: data inconsistencies, missing resiliency patterns, queue backlogs, or unplanned API dependencies. They argue that resilient systems emerge from predictable inputs like, consistent data contra...
