One of Austria’s first five Kubestronauts. Enthusiastically immersed in the ever-evolving world of technology, he finds joy in pushing boundaries and continually venturing into uncharted territories. His current focus centers around Kubernetes, platform engineering, and the realm of automation, with a particular penchant for Kubernetes and ArgoCD to streamline and optimize processes. In the fascinating journey of technology exploration, his homelab has flourished, expanding to a scale that rivals the capabilities of some enterprise-level cloud infrastructures.

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?
In this talk, we 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.
We’ll break down how observability, secrets management, security, and multi-tenancy are integrated — and how GitOps holds it all together behind the scenes. Along the way, we’ll analyze actual YAMLs to understand where vulnerabilities hide and how platform design impacts both developer experience and operational risk.
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.
