CTOs and engineering leaders can build Michelin-starred organizations by combining three key frameworks like master chefs: VSRA (the menu) aligns customer needs with business architecture, Team Topologies (the ingredients) ensures optimal team balance and interactions, and Flow Engineering (the recipe) coordinates seamless execution. Success requires all three working together.

This article explores how combining Team Topologies principles with domain-driven platform engineering (DDPE) creates more scalable, adaptive, and developer-centric platform organizations. By applying domain thinking to the four fundamental team types and three interaction modes, organizations can achieve clearer team boundaries, optimized cognitive load, and dynamic evolution aligned with business domains.
