The Mighty Small Platform is a way of building business technology that stays small on purpose.
It starts from a simple idea:
most risk, cost, and delay in large organisations comes not from what systems do in terms of business features, but from how big, tangled, and hard to change they become because of managing everything else.
Small means each system has a clear purpose, clear ownership, and clear boundaries.
Nothing is built “just in case”.
Nothing is allowed to quietly become critical by accident.
Secure means risk is designed in, not added later.
Every change is linked to a known risk.
Every control exists for a reason.
Evidence matters more than reassurance.
Zero-trust and data / process minimisation is built in
Scalable does not mean “one big platform for everything”.
It means many small, well-governed parts that can grow, change, or be replaced without destabilising the whole.
The platform does not centralise decision-making.
It centralises clarity: who owns what, what risks exist, and what evidence supports each decision.
It supports full business-domain based delivery federation and full ALM independence while offering a single point of user access
This makes it cheaper to change, safer to operate, and easier to govern — even as the organisation grows.
The result is technology that supports the business without becoming a business risk itself.
