Syntasso & Kratix in the News

Daniel's latest CNCF guest blog post explores LLOps, MLOps, and platform engineering

Check out the eight (8!) talks from the Syntasso team at PlatformCon 2026, covering topics from operational models and observability to producers and consumers, and more

Syntasso Co-Founder and COO Paula Kennedy explains why platform engineering should be treated as a product discipline — not just a tooling project — and how AI-assisted development is raising the stakes for governance, developer experience, and software delivery.

Platform engineering should have a product focus, as developers are customers, Daniel Bryant said in his talk Platform Engineering for Software Developers, Architects, and the Rest of Us at GOTO Copenhagen.

Hosted by Sam Newman, join Daniel Bryant and others to explore the impact of AI and agentic coding on platform engineering.

Automation's a great start, but it usually hits a wall when you try to scale it. That's why Cortex is partnering with Syntasso, the team behind Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE).

The Metal Bear folks summarise a recent webinar with CNCF Ambassadors and project maintainers.

Recent industry developments, such as Amazon’s announcement of the new EKS capabilities, highlight a trend toward supporting platforms with managed GitOps, cloud resource operators, and composition tooling.

“Organizations are realizing that developers are still the internal customers who need platforms as products,” said Daniel Bryant at KubeCon NA 2025.

Abby joins Cortex CTO Ganesh Datta to discuss what a platform actually is: the layer that encodes your business onto your infrastructure, exposed through an API.

Abby and Charles discuss the current state of the art in platform engineering, including platform-as-a-product, platform decay, and more!

This report examines how platform engineering is reshaping Featuring Paula, this report examines standardizing environments, unifying toolchains, and shifting repetitive tasks into automated workflows.

Stéphane Di Cesare and Cat Morris share how engineers can move from being a "cost center" to a value driver using product discovery.

Software platforms must be treated as products, not just code. Success requires balancing engineering, design, usability, security, and more, Abby Bangser mentioned in her talk Platform as a Product at GOTO Copenhagen.

Abby Bangsers joined other industry luminaries to share their thoughts on platform building and high-performing teams.

Intellyx bestows this award on every vendor who makes it through Intellyx’s rigorous briefing selection process and delivers a successful briefing that results in coverage that year.

Many platforms solve today's problems but don’t scale. Move beyond simple tools to build platforms that pass key value tests and support long-term growth.

It navigated Helm sprawl, integrated non-Kubernetes resources like NATS and managed secrets by adopting a promise-based approach with Kratix.

One of the most common pitfalls we see is what we call the platform façade: Stitching together a developer portal, some workflow automation and a handful of continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and calling it a platform.
