What are the first steps to building YOUR Platform?

Ironically, the first step is not some grandiose new Platform vision, but rather to set your house in order.

Clean up what you already have.

Fix legacy code (code without tests).

Set up CI/CD.

Implement end-to-end testing so that you can deploy with confidence.

Write documentation.

This paves the highway for efficiently moving forward, instead of slogging through the mud.
