Engineering Playbook

Build

Purpose​

Within Truss we have much experience of and opinions regarding engineering tools, processes, and practices. The problems and choices that we encounter in our day-to-day practice are rarely new. Having a straightforward way of applying the things we collectively know to the problems we face would be a source of great efficiency for us.

This collection of documents is intended to be simple and searchable, each one containing the essence of Truss opinions on a particular topic. Whilst any Trussel is free to edit these documents, there is some expectation that these are to be curated by the broad engineering community at Truss. To that end, proposed changes should be submitted via a PR and SMEs will be identified to act as curators for particular areas of knowledge.
