What is a 'Golden Path' in this onboarding skill?

A Golden Path is a pre-approved, standardized deployment pattern—such as an API service, worker, or batch job—that includes all necessary infrastructure, scaling, and compliance configurations for a specific use case.

Does this skill help with service monitoring?

Yes, Phase 4 of the workflow is dedicated to observability setup, including structured logging, metric endpoints, dashboard templates, and the definition of SLIs and SLOs.

Who is the primary user for this skill?

It is designed for Platform Engineers and DevOps teams who need to ensure consistent, reliable, and documented service deployments across an organization.

Can this skill be used for security audits?

While it doesn't replace a manual audit, it includes a rigorous Security Configuration Phase that enforces network policies, mTLS, secrets management, and least-privilege IAM permissions.

Deployment & DevOps

Standardizes the onboarding of new services to internal platforms through automated infrastructure, observability, and security workflows.

About

The Platform Service Onboarding skill provides a comprehensive 7-phase framework for integrating microservices into internal developer platforms while enforcing software engineering best practices. It streamlines the transition from development to production by guiding users through requirements gathering, 'Golden Path' selection, and infrastructure provisioning. By automating the setup of observability dashboards, security controls, and operational documentation, this skill ensures that every new service is compliant, monitored, and production-ready from day one.
