When embracing cloud and container technologies, it’s tempting to think of fleet management as a challenge for tomorrow. But the reality is that the majority of organisations quickly bump into the need to run multiple VMs, container, and Kubernetes clusters. This is where Kratix comes in. In this guide, we’ll explore how Kratix enables you to orchestrate and deploy services seamlessly across a fleet.

Platform engineering is full of trade-offs. Cost, speed, or reduced risk. Developer autonomy or governance and compliance. We hear it all the time: “We can’t have both.” But that’s not true. When you combine Kratix Promises with a Secrets Manager, you get both. This isn’t an either / or story. It’s a great AND story that brings together your developer experience and enterprise-grade security.

Many organisations have invested heavily in Terraform, and rightly so. It’s a mature Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that automates infrastructure and streamlines workflows. However, when building an internal developer platform (IDP), IaC alone isn’t enough. To scale across teams and business needs, all while supporting seamless fleet management, you also need developer-friendly platform APIs and abstractions. That is where Kratix comes in.

Most internal platforms don’t fail on day one: they fail on day 2, 200, or 2000. What starts as a solid solution to today’s needs often turns into tomorrow’s bottleneck: brittle delivery processes, endless ticket queues, and systems so complex they collapse under their own weight. At Syntasso, we built Kratix to flip this pattern.
