Design Partner Program
Shape the first governed golden paths with Platlume.io.
Join a founder-led pilot for platform and engineering teams that want to turn approved cloud patterns into secure, self-service deployment workflows.
Limited design partner availability for qualified platform teams.
Who the program is for
Design partners should have a real platform workflow to validate, not just a general interest in AI.
Platform engineering teams
Teams building internal developer platforms, golden paths, or developer self-service workflows.
SaaS engineering teams
Product engineering teams slowed by manual service setup, environment provisioning, or DevOps handoffs.
DevOps teams
Teams standardizing Terraform, CI/CD, policy checks, and deployment patterns across repositories.
Cloud governance teams
Teams shifting security, tagging, cost, and policy controls earlier in the delivery lifecycle.
What design partners get
Design partners get closer access to the product direction and a guided pilot around the first golden-path workflow.
Guided 2–4 week pilot
Work with Platlume.io to validate one focused golden-path workflow from request to reviewable pull request.
Founder-led onboarding
Get direct support during discovery, pilot scoping, workflow validation, and feedback sessions.
First AWS ECS Fargate blueprint
Validate the first deployment blueprint around AWS ECS Fargate, RDS PostgreSQL, Terraform, and GitHub Actions.
Direct roadmap input
Influence blueprint priorities, validation workflows, integration needs, and future platform capabilities.
Early access to playbooks
Get early access to implementation notes, golden-path checklists, and design partner learnings.
Future BYOC input
Help shape the future customer-side execution roadmap for enterprise and regulated environments.
What we will validate together
The goal is to prove a focused workflow, not boil the ocean.
Current workflow review
Map how developers request new services or environments today.
Golden path fit assessment
Identify one workflow suitable for a focused design partner pilot.
Blueprint configuration
Align the AWS ECS Fargate blueprint with approved platform standards.
PR-based workflow validation
Validate generated Terraform and CI/CD changes through reviewable pull requests.
Success metrics and rollout
Capture time saved, manual steps reduced, and the next rollout path.
Ideal design partner profile
You do not need a mature IDP already in place. The best fit is a team with a clear workflow bottleneck and willingness to validate a focused pilot.
- 40–150 developers
- AWS and GitHub-heavy environment
- Small platform or DevOps team under pressure
- Manual or semi-manual new-service setup process
- Interest in governed self-service and PR-based GitOps
- Willingness to provide structured product feedback
- One non-critical service or workflow suitable for validation
- Curiosity about future BYOC/customer-side execution, where relevant
What the pilot is not
Clear boundaries help make the pilot useful and realistic.
- Not a full multi-cloud rollout
- Not autonomous production deployment
- Not a replacement for your Git, Terraform, or CI/CD controls
- Not full BYOC/private execution in the initial pilot
- Not a generic consulting engagement
Platlume.io proposes and validates changes. Your teams review, approve, and execute through existing workflows.
