# Thinnest Viable Platform examples

Examples of a Thinnest Viable Platform (TVP) as defined in the book Team Topologies.

> A TVP is a careful balance between keeping the platform small and ensuring that the platform is helping to accelerate and simplify software delivery for teams building on the platform. (p.101, _Team Topologies_)

This can be rephrased as:

> A TVP is the smallest set of APIs, documentation, and tools needed to accelerate the teams developing modern software services and systems.

This material is based on some of the ideas in the book _Team Topologies_ by Matthew Skelton [@matthewskelton](https://github.com/matthewskelton) and Manuel Pais [@manupaisable](https://github.com/manupaisable).

## Canonical example of TVP

The ABC Corp example is perhaps the simplest infrastructure platform imaginable: just a list of cloud services and some default configuration.

### ABC Corp cloud platform

We use the [Serverless Framework](https://www.serverless.com/) to simplify access to AWS serverless services. Use these AWS services via Serverless to build apps for ABC Corp:

* AWS DynamoDB
* [AWS Lambda](https://www.serverless.com/aws-lambda)
* AWS S3
* AWS SQS

Use these events to trigger Lambda function execution:

* [Application Load Balancer](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/alb/)
* [DynamoDB](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/streams/)
* [HTTP API](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/http-api/)
* [S3](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/s3/)
* [Schedule](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/schedule/)
* [SQS](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/sqs/)

Use these services to monitor Lambda function execution:

* [AWS CloudWatch](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/AlarmThatSendsEmail.html)

Use our credentials setup tool, `credible`, to set up your credentials for the Serverless framework, including all AWS IAM roles and access keys:
