I was fortunate to join almost 70 people at the European Future of Software Engineering (FOSE) retreat, hosted by Thoughtworks. AI dominated every conversation at FOSE. Surprisingly, though, the biggest lesson wasn't about better models or autonomous agents. It was that the organisations moving fastest are investing in better boundaries. Across the diverse experiences, there was also a theme of "slow is smooth and smooth is fast". Investing in the right primitives unlocks tre

Previous OSFF events had many discussions about whether AI would be adopted in financial services. This year, the assumption is that it will be. The questions are now about governance, security, operational resilience, and how platforms need to evolve to support it all safely.

PlatformCon has always been a useful signal for where platform engineering is heading. And this year’s London Live event didn’t disappoint. The Syntasso team were out and about, watching talks, chatting with folks, and sharing recordings of their virtual talks.

Our recent webinar explored what we can learn from putting AI directly in front of a platform. The discussion touched on platform engineering, developer experience, organisational design, and AI reliability, but the core insight was surprisingly simple...

AI agents are powerful. They're also wildly unpredictable when you put them in front of real platforms. Join us for our latest webinar, "Lessons from Putting AI in Front of a Platform," on June 18th!

In this post, we’ll look at why AI systems and agents need safe interfaces to infrastructure, how platforms provide those boundaries, and how Syntasso Kratix Agentic (SKA) helps teams expose operational capabilities that both humans and agents can consume safely.

AI is accelerating software creation faster than organisations can safely operationalise it. This is a summary of my talk at the O’Reilly Infrastructure and Ops Superstream on Platform Engineering and AI.

yntasso today announced the private preview release of Syntasso Kratix Agentic (SKA), a new platform orchestration solution designed to help enterprises move their existing technology landscape into the agentic AI era.

After attending QCon London and KubeCon EU, we noticed a clear pattern. The same themes, challenges, and opportunities are emerging, but they are viewed through slightly different lenses.

At AWS Summit London, one theme came up again and again across organisations of every size and sector: platform teams are getting much clearer about what they should build, and what they shouldn’t. From highly regulated financial institutions to global travel platforms, the most effective teams aren’t trying to recreate cloud services. They are deliberately offloading undifferentiated work to providers like AWS, and focusing their effort on the parts of the platform that actu
