Moving off the monolith: Implementing a decentralized framework to drive scale-up growth
Scaling and re-platforming your operating systems to meet the scale of your company can be a never-ending task. Re-engineering, re-training, and re-tooling can all quickly become overwhelming. Our guest today discusses his approach to refocusing and building out a technical and decentralized framework in a company that had previously viewed tech as an enabler, rather than a driver of business growth.
Driving scale by optimizing experimentation and developer experience
When it comes to scaling up, time is everything, and it feels like there’s never enough. Implementing a solid culture of experimentation can deliver the right balance between speed and standardization needed to optimize growth. Our latest guest on Level-Up is Daniel Gebler, the Founder & CTO at Picnic. He discusses how he built a culture of experimentation that enabled him to scale Picnic from an idea to over 3,000 employees and how the culture continues to drive growth by optimizing the developer experience.
Driving success through phases of platform engineering maturity
Our latest guest, Lawrence Jones, Engineer at incident.io, shares how he has driven engineering efforts through different stages of growth and complexity.
Adopting the right scaling objectives as your company grows
Identifying what works with your team on a small scale and how to scale that as you grow can be one of the most valuable lessons you learn as a leader. Our latest guest, John Laban, Co-Founder and CEO of OpsLevel, talks about his experiences growing a team (and a business) and how he learned to delegate tasks to the right people at the right time for professional growth across the entire organization.
