Technology architecture - Technology
Platform
A shared technology foundation that applications or services can build on
What's it for?
Provides shared building blocks that other software or teams can use instead of creating the same basics themselves.
For example…
Teams launch internal tools on a shared platform that already handles login and hosting.
A company provides a shared payments platform so several product teams can take payments without each building card processing from scratch
Think of it like…
Railway platform where many trains can arrive — the shared base, not one journey
