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.

How The Access Group scaled AI-driven development with platform engineering, using Kratix to add structure, ensure reliability, and support 2,000+ applications.

Abby's framing is simple: every major shift in software delivery raises the bar. Cloud sped up provisioning. DevOps reshaped ways of working. Kubernetes changed architecture. Now, AI is changing what internal platforms must enable, and it is happening at a pace most organisations are not structurally ready for.

Can GenAI solve the platform engineer’s biggest pains? Can it accelerate platform delivery, improve developer experience, and make infrastructure more secure and efficient? The short answer is yes, but only if your platform is designed to provide AI with a solid foundation to work with. The missing ingredient is structure.

In our recent webinar, Beyond the Booth at KubeCon, Abby Bangser, Cat Morris, and Daniel Bryant reflected on what we saw in Atlanta, from the rise of real AI workloads on Kubernetes to growing interest in platform product management and day-two operations. Here are the biggest takeaways.

Enterprises racing to adopt AI often create more risk than value. To mitigate these risks, AI needs the same treatment as every other capability in the internal developer platform (IDP). Provide it through the platform, complete with budgets, policies, and observability from day one. That is how adoption scales without chaos.

Independent research reinforces this. MIT’s 2025 State of AI in Business report found that despite tens of billions in spend, only 5% of custom enterprise AI tools make it to production. Enterprises lead in pilot volume yet lag in scale. The findings point to approach, not model quality, as the real limiter. This article explores three platform-engineering principles that consistently turn AI from hype into working enterprise systems.

Cloud-native engineering (and platform engineering ) is evolving quickly, and AI is at the centre of that shift. In the past, when a developer needed something as simple as a new database for testing, the process was slow. They had to raise a ticket, wait for approvals, and depend on manual provisioning, which sometimes took days before they could even start working. Now picture the same request in 2025. Instead of waiting, an AI assistant provisions the database ins

The future of platform engineering isn’t just cloud-native; it’s now AI-native. Would you agree with that? Whether your answer is yes or...

The Syntasso team attended last month's FINOS Open Source in Finance Forum in London and learned a lot!

The Syntasso team have finally unpacked our bags from an amazing KubeCon EU in Paris, and we’re keen to share our learnings!
