youtu.be/n5fNzIRowv8 Building an internal platform as a product experience on k8s, in record time, at a tech unicorn! The story of Polaris

This is the most intimidating story I've covered over the last 20 years - for the first time, I interviewed my 3 teenage daughters on a topic they know best: screens & social media. The conversation was magical and necessary. Here's a sneak peak of the new season of Chasing Life!

❤️Thank you for the opportunity to share @openuk_uk ! And thank you opensource for doing the heavy lifting so we could build our platform as a service for our app Devs, focussing on the specifics ❤️

The most incredible story telling from @Debs_za at #SOOCon23 @openuk_uk

@a_bangser <3

Q: so every platform team has a product owner? @Debs_za: I wish! Q: so what can people do to succeed with a platform product? Debs: realise that the users being app devs doesn't change anything. They are users w/difficulties/needs that we're trying to help! #StateOfOpenCon23

Looking forward to @Debs_za at #StateOfOpenCon23. Getting concrete examples of building platforms is such a treat as so often these solutions are all in house and hard to quite grasp!

Some tools @Debs_za has used and suggests looking at when building a user focused platform experience on top of Kubernetes infrastructure @argoproj @HashiCorp @kratixio

"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done." — Steve Jobs
