[Verse 1] In the engineering world, there's a common pain Teams building the same tools again and again Deployment pipelines, databases too Everyone's solving what someone went through But there's a better way to organize our code Let me tell you about the platform road [Chorus] Build it once, serve them all Platform teams standing tall Self-service tools that never fall Treat internal like external, that's the call Platform teams, platform dreams Make it easy, make it clean Serve your engineers like customers supreme That's the platform team [Verse 2] Think of Netflix or Google's way They don't let every team go astray One group builds the foundation strong While product teams just move along No more reinventing every wheel Platform thinking keeps it real [Chorus] Build it once, serve them all Platform teams standing tall Self-service tools that never fall Treat internal like external, that's the call Platform teams, platform dreams Make it easy, make it clean Serve your engineers like customers supreme That's the platform team [Bridge] Documentation clear and bright APIs that work day and night Support channels always there Show your internal users that you care Product mindset, not just code That's how platforms hit the road [Verse 3] Start small with one simple need Maybe CI or data feed Listen close to what teams say Iterate and improve each day Remember you're not just writing scripts You're building products that never skip [Chorus] Build it once, serve them all Platform teams standing tall Self-service tools that never fall Treat internal like external, that's the call Platform teams, platform dreams Make it easy, make it clean Serve your engineers like customers supreme That's the platform team [Outro] From chaos comes order, from many comes one Platform teams make the work fun Self-service magic, products that shine Your engineering org will work by design
