Summary

Stanislav, the tech lead of platform engineering at Monite, discusses his role and the challenges faced in managing the company's infrastructure and developer tools. His team supports both internal and external microservices, focusing on creating a productive environment for developers. In platform engineering, the aim is to decentralize infrastructure management by empowering cross-functional teams to handle their tools with guidance from the platform team, promoting trust and skill development. Stanislav elaborates on the complexities of designing a webhooks delivery system, initially underestimated as simple HTTP post requests, which grew into a sophisticated system due to client demands and technical requirements. He also shares insights on API versioning, inspired by Stripe, leading to the creation of Cadwyn, a FastAPI-based framework that simplifies maintaining multiple API versions and offers extensive documentation for learning API versioning.
