Onboarding¶
Welcome to the team. This page is the checklist for your first two weeks.
Day one¶
- Get added to the GitHub org
- Get added to the team Slack / chat
- Get a copy of the team handbook
- Meet your onboarding buddy
- Set up your development environment (see below)
Week one¶
- Read the architecture overview
- Clone the main repos and get them running locally
- Ship a small change — a typo fix in this wiki counts
- Shadow a deployment
- 1:1 with your manager to set 30/60/90 day goals
Development environment¶
TODO: fill this in with your actual stack. A good structure:
- Language toolchain — version manager, required versions
- Services — databases, caches, message brokers you need running locally
- Secrets — where to get them, how to load them
- First run — the exact commands to get from clone to running app
Who does what¶
TODO: a small table of teams / squads and what they own, so new people know who to ask about what.
| Team | Owns | Primary contact |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | CI/CD, infra, observability | @platform-lead |
