Upgrades felt too big for our customer's SKE POV. That's probably not unusual. However, the whole point of a good POV is to surface real concerns early, before the decision is made. Learn more about our platform orchestrator POV process.

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

At KubeCon, Nitish Malhotra from Veeam Software and Cat Morris from Syntasso explored how to avoid the day 2 platform hangover

Pulumi components enable reuse, but they don’t provide a safe, self-service platform for developers. Exposing raw infrastructure abstractions creates friction. What’s missing is a platform API that turns components into well-defined capabilities with built-in workflows, governance, and consistency.

Syntasso is excited to partner with Cortex. Together, we connect orchestration with organisational visibility, helping teams treat their platform as a product; one that is not only easy to consume but also measurable, governable, and continuously improved.

This is a summary of a talk about something most teams only notice when it goes wrong: debugging Kubernetes controllers.

This update is full of the cool things we’ve been up to over the past year, from new features to our collaboration with customers. But before we dig into that, let's refresh ourselves on what our 2025 strategy was and whether we followed it

Available now for Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) users, the Promise Testing Framework enables you to focus on developing your Promise code, while we handle testing to ensure it works as expected. Check out the Promise Testing Framework docs!

Giving developers autonomy to provision infrastructure is now a table-stakes requirement for modern internal developer platforms (IDPs). What happens when a critical vulnerability is found in a shared service such as a database? This is where Kratix steps in. It enables you to build internal platforms where developers can self-serve, while providing platform engineers with powerful tools to manage services across the fleet.

Platform engineering promises to accelerate delivery and reduce complexity, but if not approached deliberately, it can quickly become a cost sink. This article examines the hidden costs in platform engineering and explores cost-optimisation strategies to maintain a lean approach without compromising innovation.

Many organisations have successfully adopted GitOps for application delivery, but platform infrastructure provisioning often remains stubbornly manual, especially within enterprises. And by the end of this guide, you’ll see what this looks like in practice. You’ll request a Redis instance with a simple YAML manifest, Kratix will process the request, and Flux will automatically deploy the resources across your clusters.

Platform engineers often lack visibility into their platform. With the new SKE GUI, that changes. Now available to Syntasso Kratix Enterprise users, it lets you view all Promises and resources, track their states, debug in real time, and explore how everything connects, all from a single interface.

Welcome to our first big Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) strategy update for 2025! Sorry, it has taken us so long: we’ve been busy at Syntasso 😅 If you’re new here: Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) is THE Platform Orchestrator for enterprises. By providing key integrations and support, it levels up the open-source Kratix framework, enabling you to deliver internal platforms more efficiently. This makes it painless to build a platform that is ready for Day 1, Day 2, and Day

Scaling Prometheus for multiple teams is no small feat as each team typically needs a dedicated instance to monitor their applications. This post shows how Kratix lets you expose Prometheus as a reusable and GitOps-friendly service.

A guide to building internal developer platforms (IDPs) with Kratix and Crossplane

The internal developer platform (IDP) market is expanding, and more tools are emerging as complete solutions to your platform needs. It’s tempting to believe that selecting one of these tools off the shelf will instantly make your team more productive. This article explains why IDPs must be composable, allowing teams to design systems where parts can be added, replaced, or scaled to suit the organisation’s needs without rebuilding the entire platform.

As a platform engineer, while MongoDB solves your organisation’s data modelling problems, managing its deployments at scale to meet multiple teams' demands can quickly become a nightmare. This guide will show how to use Kratix and Port to alleviate some of the pain of creating and managing MongoDB instances at scale.

By integrating Kratix with Backstage, you transform a portal into a fully managed platform. Learn about the latest updates

At first glance, providing developers with Terraform modules appears straightforward; modules encapsulate best practices, making it easy for users to provision infrastructure. However, problems quickly surface

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?
