Summary

Golden Path project scaffolding aims to simplify the process of creating new projects by providing self-service tools and processes that help engineers start new projects in a more standardized, less mistake-prone way. Datadog Workflows and App Builder can be used in conjunction with cookiecutter to create Golden Paths for organizations, which include key template assets such as infrastructure and observability manifests, testing frameworks, documentation templates, and code formatting guidelines. By using these tools, developers can create new projects more efficiently, collapse knowledge silos, streamline onboarding, and make it easier for teams to get their services working together. The Golden Paths app can be used to generate new projects from a self-serve UI, making it easier for engineers to access templates and spin up new projects with fewer hiccups. Additionally, the app can be embedded in a dashboard to improve discoverability and convenience.
