Summary

The internal platform team at Bitrise aims to provide developer teams with everything they need to be highly performant by iterating quickly and scaling confidently without getting bogged down in platform internals. The team has formed a virtual team of volunteers, developed a GitOps-based CD flow using tools like terragrunt, helm, berglas, and Datadog for observability, and successfully validated the idea with production services being developed on top of it. The ultimate goal is to reach a point where all resources needed to run a service are fully automated, allowing developers to create everything they need using a couple of clicks without worrying about platform intricacies. The team consists of engineers from diverse backgrounds working together to build a flexible and easy-to-use platform that conforms to company standards while covering all use cases. They're focusing on creating a scalable project structure, automating resource management flows, and building the internal developer portal's building blocks using tools like Backstage, which has already laid the groundwork for such a portal.
