Infrastructure Platform Engineering Organizational structures and models

This analysis examines four common infrastructure platform engineering organizational models, from highly decentralized product orgs with embedded infra teams to centralized infrastructure-platform orgs. The article reveals that altering organizational boundaries doesn't fundamentally change the work required for cloud systems, and warns against costly re-orgs that can create rigid barriers or disrupt established workflows. Engineering leaders will learn to recognize when organizational change is necessary versus when intelligent tools and democratized expertise can solve infrastructure challenges without restructuring teams.
