In part 5 of our Paved Path series - The Spectrum of Platform Engineering and Paved Paths - @ctaceygreen and I explore the extremes between a centralised model and a completely democratised model, and we suggest a possible middle ground between the two.

Part 4 of our Paved Path series is out! This one explores what they are made up of and how the elements fit together - it's a more practical post coming from our experience building (and failing) in this space. I loved working through this one with @ctaceygreen - we would love to hear your thoughts!

Engineering enablement is awesome. Getting people moving quickly is part of it, and "paved paths" can really help - the tremendous @rickroche and @ctaceygreen are talking about them here!
