Sure, internal portals promise order and consistency, but what happens when you’re left with a Rube Goldberg machine of half-baked integrations? Join the founder of Northflank at KubeCon for a wake-up call: what’s trendy may not be what’s right for your organization. It’s time to focus on what really matters—delivering workloads. For realz.
In this talk, you’ll hear why gluing together countless widgets and screens can leave you with an unwieldy UI that merely documents your workloads, rather than actively driving them forward. A new coat of paint doesn’t make your foundation sturdy. Sure, a system of record is helpful when you want to know who owns which service, but it doesn’t do much to accelerate deployments, avoid infrastructure toil, or streamline your developers’ experience. Why settle for an incomplete solution pioneered by a music-streaming service, leaving you to fill in the missing pieces?
Focus on what matters: enabling your engineers to ship workloads with ease—because customers don’t pay you to write YAML.
We’ll explore how the evolution of infrastructure-as-code paves the way for a proper app platform—one that handles everything from automated deployments across preview, staging, and production. You’ll discover how a platform for workload delivery can give your team the confidence to move fast while retaining the flexibility to pivot across clouds or on-prem, all with a consistent experience that developers actually enjoy using.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a blueprint for a platform that’s not just a pretty interface, but a true system of action—one that supports containers, databases, microservices, and even batch jobs, all accessible through a UI, GitOps, CLI, or API. If you’re ready to shift from endless portal-building to true workload delivery, this talk is for you. Get ready to unleash a new era of developer empowerment.
