Trunk and Branches Model for Scaling Infrastructure Organizations

This is an early version of a chapter for Infrastructure Engineering.
Early on in your company’s lifetime, you’ll form the seed of your infrastructure organization: a small team of four to eight engineers. Maybe you’ll call it the infrastructure team. It’s very easy to route infrastructure requests, because they all go to that one team.
Later on, things are easy as well. You have seventy engineers spread across eight to ten mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive teams with names like Storage, Traffic, and Compute.
