In this lesson
design defaults that are the easiest path while allowing real exceptions.
Planned topics
- A paved road bundles the common choices (template, pipeline, observability, security) behind one command.
- It wins by being faster and safer than doing it yourself, not by being mandatory.
- Escape hatches let teams with special needs leave the road, accepting more responsibility.
- Track who leaves and why; that is product feedback.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
a diagram: golden path in the middle, three marked exits (custom runtime, alternative datastore, special deployment), each with the added responsibilities.
