Introducing https://t.co/LRQJISLhNE — PaaS simplicity like Heroku, Kubernetes' power without the platform team, multi-region active-active most platform teams never ship.
Deploy Anywhere. Lock-in Nowhere. Ship with Confidence.
Hard question for any deploy setup:
Who actually knows how it works?
If the answer is one person, that's not a platform.
That's a dependency.
Simple to run beats clever to build.
Needing Kubernetes and running Kubernetes are two different jobs.
Most teams need the first:
scaling, resilience, room to grow.
Very few want the second:
upgrades, patching, 2 AM pages.
You shouldn't have to take one to get the other.
@bitfalt@rosslazer Depends what you’re optimizing for. If it’s that same simple UX plus room to grow (multi-region, failover) without hiring a platform team, that’s exactly what we’re building at https://t.co/4WJLOMshtD.
Idle cost is the quietest line on your cloud bill.
Nobody gets paged for it.
Nobody ships a feature because of it.
It just compounds.
Look at what's running at 3 AM. That's your real baseline.
@chielo_chiamaka Same release, different base OS and how tightly the version is pinned. In prod, pin the exact version (16.2) so nothing changes under you.
KubeCon week.
Platform engineers aren't the problem. The undifferentiated work is.
Cluster upgrades. Patching. Wiring. Babysitting YAML.
Take that off their plate and platform and product engineers both get to build what actually matters.
Kubernetes power, minus the toil.
A quick portability test for your stack:
Could you move it to a different cloud account this quarter without a rewrite?
If the honest answer is "maybe," your architecture made that decision for you.
Deploy anywhere. Lock-in nowhere.
