In a nutshell, a platform team is a team that creates the foundational layers and core building blocks of a company’s products.

The platform team is also here to find ways for multiple teams to work on a cross project that can be reused by all.

More concretely a platform can be at different levels of granularity:

• * CI configs and rules to be used by other teams

• * IaC, tooling to deploy and monitor resources in the Cloud

• * Development environment, tools and shared libraries

• * Help and can define global system architecture / security

• * Core abstractions (data model, business modeling) API/SDKs
