Platform engineering
Make the golden path the fastest path
Standards adopted because they save time, not because they are mandated.
Before Fenwavenever read waiting
“The platform guidelines are on Confluence — page 4, under "Deprecated (do not use)" which is confusingly out of date”
What the wait costs
Governance by document. Compliance drops with every sprint, and the platform team finds out at audit time.
Platform teams cannot win an argument against convenience, so the only reliable strategy is to make the conformant option the convenient one. A Fenwave template carries the base image, the pipeline, the lint configuration, the test scaffold and the catalog registration together. A developer choosing it is not complying with a standard — they are taking the shortcut that happens to be the standard.
How it works
- 01Encode the standard as a template rather than a document.
- 02Publish it in App Builder where new services actually start.
- 03Every generated service registers itself in the catalog with an owner.
- 04Update the template; the next service picks the change up automatically.
