Like many software delivery teams, engineers at Syntasso have been experimenting with ways to integrate LLMs into our internal developer experience. In one of our recent internal hack days, I tried wiring up a Claude Desktop interface to Kratix using FastMCP. The idea was simple: could engineers ask natural-language questions, assemble a platform, and get something deployed without learning YAML or kubectl?

Platform engineers work hard to manage traffic and protect applications that are critical to business operations. When these applications receive too much traffic, they can slow down or crash completely, causing poor user experience and service outages. To solve this, these platform engineers can leverage Kratix, an open-source framework for building internal developer platforms, to automate the deployment, management, and maintenance of NGINX Ingress Controllers

The most successful platform businesses rely on the network effect. The more valuable stuff your platform offers, the more users will be attracted to join. The more users you have consuming value, the more producers will want to add valuable stuff to your platform and so on. Cat Morris, Staff Product Manager at Syntasso talks about this in her latest blog post

In my recent talk at KubeCon EU, I aimed to share insights into the connection between software architecture and platform architecture

Abby Bangser, Founding Principal Engineer at Syntasso, sat down with Cory O’Daniel, CEO and co-founder of Massdriver, and delved into the nuances of building effective internal platforms.  Drawing from real-world implementations, Abby explored how platform teams can strike the right balance between standardisation, flexibility, and service-oriented thinking.
