DevEx as a Service: Scaling DevOps Teams with Platform Engineering

Your DevOps team is a driving force for innovation. But is it possible to scale without friction? That's the real challenge.

DevEx as a service: Scaling DevOps teams with Platform Engineering is a practical guide for platform teams seeking to enhance developer experience (DevEx) while scaling effectively.

Written by Matthew Casperson, a 5-star published author and Platform Engineering expert, this book cuts straight to what matters when building an internal developer platform (IDP).

You'll learn how to:

Define your platform's business value – articulate why your platform team exists and the ROI it delivers
Improve DevOps workflows – identify which friction points your IDP should eliminate first
Support internal customers – treat developers as customers and build platforms they actually want to use
Make smart trade-offs – balance short-term wins against long-term platform success
Cover the essentials – checklists for functional and non-functional requirements across the DevOps lifecycle

The handbook is designed for the founding members of platform teams in the early stages of implementation, complete with practical checklists to facilitate discussions and guide decisions.
