How to Build a Multi-Tenancy Internal Developer Platform with GitOps and vCluster
An Internal Developer Platform is more than just a user interface or a set of APIs. It is about creating the core functionality that enables self-service for development teams. In this talk, we will show how GitOps and vCluster can help build a scalable and cost-efficient platform that supports multiple teams.
What makes this approach exciting is that we will use tools that the customer already had in place at the enterprise level. The goal was to create a first version of the platform that fits into the existing environment instead of introducing completely new technology.
Reverse Engineering a Kubernetes Platform: From UI to GitOps
Most teams build platforms layer by layer, often from the bottom up. But what if we flip the perspective?
When building a platform, it helps to think in planes rather than layers. This perspective separates concerns like control, data, and developer experience into distinct planes, providing a clearer mental model and a more scalable way to reason about platform design.
In this talk, we introduce the planes concept as a new way of looking at platform engineering, one that changes how we approach building and operating platforms at scale.
We then reverse engineer a real Kubernetes platform, starting at the top with the developer portal and working our way down. Like deconstructing a burger from the upper bun, we explore how each visible piece maps to underlying services, components, and architectural decisions.
This talk is not about building something new. It’s about understanding what you already have and how to make it better by looking at it from a new angle.

Road to a self-healing infrastructure with HolmesGPT and a private LLM
In this talk, we will demonstrate how to set up your own private, on-premise, container-based LLM with Terraform and Kubernetes. We will delve deeper and show how to add gigabytes of documents and interact with your private, sensitive data. During the live demo we will also show how to connect it to HolmesGPT and let the private LLM auto solve your Kubernetes issues.
