A fast-growing healthtech had no platform team — every product squad was rolling its own CI, observability, and on-call. Compliance reviews were the bottleneck on every shipping decision.
We embedded a platform pod across San Francisco, Lisbon, and Bangalore — follow-the-sun, with a single Backstage portal as the source of truth. We shipped golden paths for service scaffolding, observability, and HIPAA compliance baked-in.
New services land in under a day with compliance pre-cleared. Squads stopped rebuilding the same plumbing four times. The platform team is self-sustaining and now hires its own.

"We tried to hire a platform team for a year. They built one in two quarters and then handed it back to us better than we could have shaped it ourselves."
