[Verse 1] Sarah builds widgets, Mike handles payments Each team owns their slice, but they're stuck in fragments Waiting for database updates, queuing for deployments Different tools, different rules, productivity destroyed Tom's authentication service crashes every sprint While Lisa's search feature can't find what she needs to mint Six teams, six codebases, six ways to fail Infrastructure chaos, nobody's setting sail [Chorus] Build the platform, shared foundation Teams move fast with liberation Common tools, common ground Independence can be found APIs that teams can trust Abstractions hide the rust Platform thinking, platform power Multiply each coding hour [Verse 2] Think like Amazon Web Services for your company crew Offer databases, monitoring, secrets management too Internal customers are your engineering squads Give them building blocks, they'll create applause Self-service deployment pipelines, logging that just works Identity providers, message queues with perks Standard libraries, testing frameworks ready to go Teams focus on features, platform handles the flow [Chorus] Build the platform, shared foundation Teams move fast with liberation Common tools, common ground Independence can be found APIs that teams can trust Abstractions hide the rust Platform thinking, platform power Multiply each coding hour [Bridge] Documentation crystal clear, examples that inspire Slack channels buzzing with support, putting out each fire Version backwards carefully, migrations planned with grace Platform team enables magic, not another roadblock race [Verse 3] Measure developer happiness, track deployment speed How many tickets for infrastructure?
