Building & Running Allstate's Platform Team (Ep. 75)

August 10, 2017 Michael Coté

When Allstate decided they wanted to speed up their software development and delivery process, they knew they'd need to put a good cloud platform in place. After looking at several options, they created a team to run and extent Pivotal Cloud Foundry. As time went on, the team starting adding services, consulting with the rest of the organization on cloud-native development, and started becoming more than just "operators." In this episode, I talk with two of the people on that team - Anthony Lee and David Brock - about that journey and how to platform team fits into and supports Allstate's development organization, CompoZed.
