Platform engineering teams often struggle with balancing the need for innovation and speed against the demands for standardization and security, leading to either rigid standardization or operational chaos. CircleCI's Platform Team Toolkit addresses this issue by providing self-service developer experiences combined with centralized governance, offering solutions like centralized config files, overrides, URL orbs, a Terraform provider, and project administration APIs. These tools aim to streamline software delivery by automating configuration management, ensuring compliance, and allowing developers to customize workflows within set standards. The Toolkit enables teams to scale efficiently without sprawl, maintain governance without gridlock, and empower developers to work autonomously without compromising organizational standards. Available for all CircleCI customers, it facilitates a seamless setup process and encourages exploration of real-world configurations and governance patterns.
