About Platform Engineering Podcast
The Platform Engineering Podcast is a show about the real work of building and running internal platforms — hosted by Cory O’Daniel, longtime infrastructure and software engineer, and CEO/cofounder of Massdriver. Each episode features candid conversations with the engineers, leads, and builders shaping platform engineering today. Topics range from org structure and team ownership to infrastructure design, developer experience, and the tradeoffs behind every “it depends.” Cory brings two decades of experience building platforms — and now spends his time thinking about how teams scale infrastructure without creating bottlenecks or burning out ops. This podcast isn’t about trends. It’s about how platform engineering actually works inside real companies. Whether you're deep into Terraform/OpenTofu modules, building golden paths, or just trying to keep your platform from becoming a dumpster fire — you’ll probably find something useful here.

And this is like shadow IT as a – I don't know if that's a domain, but as a concept has been around – for as long as I've been in this industry, and always stems from trying to prevent people from solving their own problems. Yeah. Right? We make things too hard to do, so they go find a way to go around it, right? Oh, yeah, baby. And, you know, you get corporate documents sent on Yahoo email or whatever. Like, I'm definitely dating myself here, but like... Because, oh, the limit is too low, right? Everyone's trying to clamp down the exchange server, so we're just using Gmail to send each other, like, really important critical documents or whatever. […]
