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?

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

At KubeCon, Phill Morton and Abby Bangser delivered a workshop that championed the principle that “working code wins.” Drawing on the experience at The Access Group (TAG), the UK’s largest software business headquartered in the UK, Phill and Abby showcased how internal platforms, particularly those powered by Kratix and Kubernetes, can accelerate innovation and enable scalable developer self-service.

Organisations aiming for growth and efficiency require a fully automated internal developer platform, not just a centralised dashboard. If you’re aiming to improve developer productivity and ensure security and compliance, you should consider moving from an Internal Developer Portal to an Internal Developer Platform.

Hello again, avid readers. Sorry that it’s been so long! I was originally optimistic that I’d be able to do monthly updates. I’ve since learnt that I’m not a monthly update kind of gal. So, we’re going a little bit more generic with the naming of these updates! However, don’t let my inconsistency fool you into thinking that we aren’t doing exciting things here at Syntasso. This time, I want to focus on three big things: Integrating Kratix with Portals Resource Health Checks K
