4 years of building k8s platforms: lessons learned

Me and my team have been building cloud native platforms for over four years now. In this talk, I’ll share key insights and lessons learned from building things at dozens of customers. Drawing from both technical and non-technical experiences, I’ll dive into the challenges and successes encountered along the way. From architectural decisions and tooling choices to collaboration dynamics and organizational hurdles, this session will offer valuable (and fun) anecdotes and practical takeaways for anyone navigating the cloud-native journey. This is no hardcore tech talk, but rather an assembly of funny yet informative anecdotes from the life of a consultant.
