On Building a Platform Team
It may surprise you to hear, but Honeycomb doesn’t currently have a platform team. We have a platform org, and my title is Director of Platform Engineering. We have engineers doing platform work. And, we even have an SRE team and a core services team. But a platform team? Nope. I’ve been thinking about what it might mean to build a platform team up from scratch—a situation some of you may also be in—and it led me to asking crucial questions. What should such a team own?

We also introduced the concept of trusted execution environments and confidential computing, (CC), as a paradigm to address this challenge.
Tales from the Kernel Parameter Side
Users live in the sunlit world of what they believe to be reality. But, there is, unseen by most, an underworld. A place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit.
