Syntasso & Kratix in the News
From KubeCon keynotes to InfoQ columns, the Syntasso team spends almost as much time talking about platform engineering as building it. Below is our press coverage, contributed articles, podcasts, and webinars, spanning the shift from portals to platform as a product, the rise of AI platform engineering, and how teams are using internal developer platforms to cut cognitive load without losing developer autonomy.
Several pieces below touch on integrating Kratix with existing tooling, including running Backstage as a portal on top of Kratix rather than replacing it. Others dig into the failure modes we're watching closely, like platform decay and the "platform façade" problem, where a portal and some pipelines get called a platform without solving the underlying product problem.
If you'd rather see this in practice, our case studies, including NatWest, The Access Group, and Veeam, show what these ideas look like once they're running in production.
