Platform engineering is not too big for small teams – with Matt Szymczyk | WTFF S2E06

Is platform engineering only for large enterprises? Not even close.

In this episode of What the FlowFactor, DevOps consultant Matt Szymczyk joins Kilian to break down how small teams can apply platform thinking — without overengineering or a massive budget.

🎧 What you’ll learn:
• Why platform engineering is a mindset, not a job title
• How open source tooling makes platforms more accessible than ever
• The difference between product thinking vs. “productionization”
• Why starting small and iterating fast beats planning the “perfect platform”
• How small DevOps teams can scale platform initiatives without complexity

💬 “You don’t need a platform team — you need platform thinking.”
