What is the difference between an Infrastructure Team and a Platform Team?

An Infrastructure Team is primarily responsible for the low-level components of IT systems—such as networking, storage, compute, and cloud environments. A Platform Team builds higher-level abstractions, APIs, self-service tooling, and developer portals on top of this infrastructure, making it easier for development teams to build, test, and deploy software. Tools like meshStack bridge the two teams by offering a structured way to expose infrastructure through reusable, governed platform layers.
