Platform golden paths.
A platform team embeds the 8 pillars into internal developer templates so every service launches with Security, Operations, and Sovereignty by default.
Context
The platform engineering team supports 40 product squads. Every team was shipping services with different IAM, tagging, observability, and backup setups. Reviews repeatedly found the same baseline gaps, and architects spent most of their time repeating the same advice.
Approach
The platform team turns Wombat Security, Operational Excellence, Reliability, and Sovereign controls into golden-path templates. New services inherit policy-as-code checks, default observability, and documented exit criteria before the first deployment.
Outcome
Onboarding time drops from days to hours. The average PASS score at service launch rises from 42 to 71, and architecture reviews shift from gatekeeping to exception handling.
