A bit of inspiration for building YOUR Platform.

The Beauty of Constraints

Cliff Brake July 17, 2024 #constraints #maintenance

Constraints are what guide us to good solutions.

Software that is simple enough that average developers can actually understand it.

A user interface that is intuitive.

A system we can deploy without a dedicated SRE team.

Hardware created with open tools that anyone in our organization can maintain.

An architecture that can scale in unforeseen directions.

Flexible core data structures that rarely change.

Platforms are all about constraints.
