Platform for HyperGrowth

For this 16th episode of Access Control Podcast, a podcast providing practical security advice for startups, Developer Relations Engineer at Teleport Ben Arent chats with Lukáš Hrachovina. Lukas is an Engineering Manager for the Cloud Engineering team at Productboard. ProductBoard was founded in 2014, and is a product management system that helps organizations get the right products to market faster. Lukas has been at the company 2 years and has helped keep systems stable as ProductBoard has entered into hypergrowth. This episode dives into how to plan, build and execute a platform team to help support a growing organization while keeping systems as secure as possible.

• Productboard is a product management system that lets organizations get the right products to market faster.
• Productboard is transitioning to Backstage, a tool from Spotify, to build a developer portal, and has moved its documentation there as well.
• To securely offboard engineers, Productboard uses a variety of tools including Okta and Vault.
• Productboard chose Teleport to improve their security as the number of engineers grew and since the company works with customer data, so it's critical to protect that data and prevent any possible leaks.
