Help! I need a PaaS experience on k8s, yesterday!
Come and learn about a platform engineering team, who successfully built a platform as a service experience for app Devs, on kubernetes by weaving together open source technologies, and hard won wisdom. This, at a tech unicorn startup in record time.
Composed of standards, conventions, some vendor software and mostly familiar open source tooling used in clever ways – we went from idea to production within 6 months, and enabled repeatability – a means to quickly create and maintain new production environments.
We found the balance between developer autonomy and creating helpful guardrails. We also supported all application development teams in R&D to significantly adjust their software development lifecycle successfully, at speed, while still shipping customer value.
