I recently gave a talk called "Your Platform Team Is the Bottleneck: Operating Internal Platforms at Enterprise Scale," and the title wasn't meant to be provocative for its own sake. It's just what I keep seeing. I've been a platform engineer, and I've owned platform teams, and the pattern repeats itself almost every time an organisation grows past a certain size: the team that was supposed to remove friction becomes the place where everything gets stuck. That's not a failure

Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) and Syntasso Kratix Agentic (SKA) are now available on the AWS Marketplace.

Daniel Bryant shares the key lessons from his KubeCon NA 2025 talk on composable platform architectures, platform as a product, governance, APIs, and building platforms that scale.

Today, we're introducing Upgrade Orchestration in the Syntasso Kratix Enterprise Platform Manager: a new capability that gives platform teams precise, declarative control over how platform changes are rolled out across an entire fleet.

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.

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.

After attending QCon London and KubeCon EU, we noticed a clear pattern. The same themes, challenges, and opportunities are emerging, but they are viewed through slightly different lenses.

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

In a recent Syntasso webinar, Rachael Wonnacott, Head of Cloud Engineering at Fidelity International, explored a simple but powerful idea: your platform is not an island. Platform teams do not operate in a vacuum. They sit inside a wider organisational ecosystem shaped by people, team structures, legacy technology, established processes, and differing levels of engineering maturity.

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.

Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) was built from the ground up to provide an enterprise-grade platform orchestrator that runs on-prem, in the cloud, or across hybrid estates without forcing a compromise.

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.

Platform engineering is maturing quickly, but every conversation focuses on enterprises with hundreds of developers. Startups that consider platform engineering often struggle to know where to begin, and others dismiss the idea entirely. The goal of this article is not to tell you that you need platform engineering as a startup, but to help you checkmate if you do, and prepare you for the journey ahead.
