Giant Swarm

Certainly a highlight of this year: launching our Platform 3.0 with #ClusterAPI! 🎉 Having reached our 10th birthday, we couldn't be prouder to share how we've combined a decade of production #Kubernetes expertise with the power of open source. Platform 3.0 isn't just another release — it's the culmination of 10 years spent in the trenches with our customers, understanding their real challenges and building solutions that actually work.

Success isn't about having the fanciest tools — it's about treating your platform as a product. Our very own Dominik Kress dives deep into why the most successful organizations are applying product thinking to their platforms (and no, it's not just DevOps rebranded 😉). The real gold? When he breaks down how the Product Trio concept revolutionizes platform engineering and why the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Platform Maturity Model should be your compass, not your checklist. Get the full scoop on Platform-as-a-Product from someone who lives and breathes it. ⬇️

Meet Giant Swarm's Observability Platform with this blog post from Dominik Kress 🔍 Built on open source (Mimir, Loki, OpenTelemetry), it transforms system metrics into actual knowledge. Because observability should help you make better decisions, not just show pretty graphs. The cool part? Zero setup, built-in resource optimization, and it actually respects your team's expertise instead of prescribing how to use it.

If you couldn't be in Salt Lake City for #Rejekts, you can now pretend you were there and catch ☁️Marcus Noble's great talk from the event.

🎙️ #GiantConversations Ep. 24 dives deep into Kubernetes security evolution. A fascinating discussion on how the security landscape has shifted from basic visibility tools to comprehensive, native security implementations. We explore why building security directly into your Kubernetes infrastructure is becoming crucial — and why tools like Wiz are just one piece of the puzzle.

Hello lovely folks! I'm currently participating in a really nice research project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) #Platform Working Group. For this we now created a Survey you can take part in, if you're building platforms and help us understand how organisations decide what to work on in the space of #PlatformEngineering :) You will make sure the Platform Working Group can drill down deeper on the Platform Engineering Maturity Model and really get more hands-on when it comes to the question what patterns we might see within companies doing successful platform engineering!
