Audi and Porsche want to build a shared platform for electromobility. I find myself arguing against shared engineering efforts and independence. #Microservices are a way to achieve that. 🤔

imo that's different levels. a platform (if done right) acts more like a macro architecture (while of course not exactly comparable). yet, i am sceptical about that shared platform effort, but for reasons that are not necessarily architecture related

They have 800 ppl working on it. That is a lot more than for a macro architecture. manager-magazin.de/unternehm…

I kind of doubt that Tesla has or had 800 people working on its platform

...but you are right. Often in small companies a lot less people work on problems. I am just wondering whether Tesla is still "small" by that standard...

33k employees. Dunno how that compares. Porsche has 25k
