Breaking News: NYT Graph Team Transforms Platform & Reinvents Role

Platform engineers prioritize, and quite enjoy, tackling technical challenges. At the Times, we chose Federated GraphQL to break down our monolithic graph to grant the teams closest to the business increased control and agility in the products they deliver. Yet, truly unlocking our platform’s potential to effectively service our customer teams demands a transition from a service-oriented approach to a platform-centric way of working.

2. Shifting from building APIs ourselves to building a self-service API contribution model

3. Transitioning from tier-0 troubleshooting to tools for platform insights and observability
