Why We Need To Talk about Performance, Scale, and Security Every Day

When you are tasked with building a platform that caters to global scale products and multi-tenant platforms, the trifecta of performance, scale, and security becomes your daily mantra.

One of the most common pitfalls that platform teams encounter is realizing too late that their platform is not equipped to handle the demands of scale or is riddled with security vulnerabilities. It's a harsh truth that readiness for performance and security does not happen by chance. It requires a conscious effort from the engineering team to prioritize these aspects every single day.

Sure, it's relatively easy to build out new functionalities and features. But ensuring that these additions are not only production-ready but also user-friendly and secure is a whole different ball game. This is where the importance of continuous focus on performance, scale, and security truly shines.

As an engineering team, discussing and addressing performance, scale, and security concerns should be as ingrained in your daily routine as your morning coffee. It's not just a one-time task you can check off a list; it's an ongoing commitment to excellence and reliability.

In a landscape where technology evolves at breakneck speed and cyber threats loom large, the need for a proactive approach to platform engineering cannot be overstated. By championing a culture of vigilance and prioritizing performance and security in every decision and action, you pave the way for a robust and resilient platform that can weather any storm.

So, as you embark on your platform engineering journey, ask yourself this: Are you truly talking about performance, scale, and security every day? And if not, what steps can you take to ensure that your platform is not just functional but fortified for the challenges that lie ahead?
