About us
Syntasso is the creator of Kratix (kratix.io), the open-source framework for building composable platforms. Build your enterprise-ready Internal Developer Platform (IDP) with Kratix and enable developers to ship faster, safer, and at scale. Kratix enables your software delivery teams to: - Go faster: Provide Promises (APIs) for “everything as a service” - Decrease risk: Automate manual processes in reusable Workflows - Increase efficiency: Manage your digital platform on day 1, day 2, and day 2000 Common use cases for Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) include: - Supercharge Backstage to support teams on day 1, day 2, and day 2000 - Reduce sprawl and maintenance of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) - Bridge siloes, promote inner source, and enable co-creation of platform capabilities Build platforms people use: "Our goal is to reduce the cognitive load of our engineers. Not just for application developers, but for our platform teams as well. In the division I work in we’re using open-source tools like Kratix, GitLab, Flux." - Chris Plank, Enterprise Architect at Natwest Group "Kratix enables you to leverage GitOps workflows and familiar Kubernetes-native constructs. It allows co-creation of capabilities by defining and creating Promises, establishing a clear contract between application and platform teams." - Jan-Otto K, Engineer, CLOUDETEER GmbH Let your platform fulfil its Promise: - Enable teams to ship software quicker by composing existing applications, services, and infrastructure components available as Promises in the Kratix Marketplace. - Get value from your platform by using the most appropriate user experience for the task at hand or the user's requirements. Integrate services using APIs, deploy apps via a portal, and configure infrastructure using GitOps. - Enable multiple teams to co-create your platform using the popular inner source model of contribution.

The ℂ𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕕 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕡𝕚𝕤𝕥 and ℂ𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕕 ℕ𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔽𝕄 YouTube channels combined forces recently to bring our followers and subscribers - during the course of 3 days - over 7 hours of livestreaming from the recently-held Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)'s 𝙆𝙪𝙗𝙚𝘾𝙤𝙣 𝙉𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖 conference, in Salt Lake City, UT. There was latest CNCF project announcements, drop-in vendor interviews, review of keynotes/talks, Elvis (yes, Elvis!), pitches/demos, opinionated opinions 😄 and some very 🎀 𝒮𝓅𝑒𝒸𝒾𝒶𝓁 𝒢𝓊𝑒𝓈𝓉𝓈 🎀 - all of which culminated in a mad, outrageous and jolly good time 😄 We wanted to say a Ｂｉｇ Ｔｈａｎｋ Ｙｏｕ to everyone who participated and gave up their precious time (some while still getting over their jetlag), to be with us on the livestream and thus make it so successful. Our thanks go to: Colin Griffin (Krumware) [our field reporter] Liz Rice (Isovalent) Sebastian Huckleberry (Stateful) Faisal Afzal (HashiCorp) Bill Mulligan (Isovalent) Abby Bangser (Syntasso) Cheryl Hung (Arm) Jason Morgan (GitLab) Moh Ahmed (Samsung Ads Canada) Florian Coulombel (Dell Technologies) Viktor Farcic (Upbound) Thorsten Hans (Fermyon Technologies) and everyone else who joined us on the livestream. I would also like to say Ｔｈａｎｋ Ｙｏｕ to Saim Safder - my livestream co-host - we did it 💪 Head over to the ℂ𝕝𝕠𝕦𝕕 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕡𝕚𝕤𝕥 YouTube channel for the playlist and please don't forget to 🆂🆄🅱🆂🅲🆁🅸🅱🅴 to support me: https://lnkd.in/e7HhkSv5 #kubecon #cloudnativecon #cloudnative #kubernetes #cloudtherapist #cloudnativefm

"Platform teams should understand the needs of developers and provide them with a great developer experience. But that doesn't mean feedback only goes in one direction." 💯!
Platform-as-a-product means that internal platforms should be built with a product-mindset. Platform teams should understand the needs of developers and provide them a great developer experience. But that doesn't mean feedback only goes in one direction. As consumers of internal platforms, we should ask the platform teams for feedback. What can we do to make your life easier as the platform team? How can we reduce your cognitive load? Platform teams help to reduce developer cognitive load, but they can't do that if they themselves have too much cognitive load. We have to treat each other equally well. Paula Kennedy explains it well: "Cognitive load is shifting onto the platform teams. These teams have become responsible for providing the developer experience, but with many tools that need to be incorporated, as well as other concerns such as compliance and governance, they face huge cognitive load” https://lnkd.in/d7ixm4Kz. #platformEngineering
Whose cognitive load is it anyway?

Check out Daniel Bryant's summary of #KubeCon Salt Lake City! The top ten key takeaways included: 🎯 1/ Platform engineering has crossed the chasm 2/ AI was visible in the talks but less so at the booths 3/ Improving APIs, abstraction, and automation 4/ The arrival of the (not so) late adopters: Banking on success 5/ The cloud native startup scene still looks strong 6/ Nobody gets fired for buying a portal 7/ Day 2 is having a renaissance 8/ Security and observability are still top of mind 9/ Don't feed the (patent) trolls 10 / The community rocks https://lnkd.in/e-VKzMEs

Did you miss the #PlatEngDay colocated event at #KubeCon this year? Have no fear, as the good folks at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) have released the talk recordings! We're biased, but this talk from Abby Bangser and Jorge Lainfiesta is a great place to start 😄 https://lnkd.in/eSCztJg3

This KubeFM episode reveals how to navigate Kubernetes complexity effectively 🎙 Paul Butler, founder of Jamsocket, shares his practical guide for Kubernetes newcomers through what he calls the "happy path". This approach focuses on fundamental resources that are battle-tested and well-supported across cloud providers: - deployments for managing application lifecycle - services for internal networking - config maps and secrets for configuration - cron jobs for scheduled tasks Just as #Kratix helps platform engineers create manageable abstractions, Paul's insights offer a clear starting point for teams adopting Kubernetes while avoiding its overwhelming complexity. His experience-driven advice represents what he wishes he had known when beginning his Kubernetes journey!
