Stitching the CNCF Stack for Platform Engineers
summary
Shows a working platform composed of Backstage, KubeVela, Argo CD, Flux, Dapr, Crossplane and KAgent with concrete flows: Backstage catalog holds internal APIs, KubeVela templates turn intent into deployments, Argo CD GitOps keeps envs in sync, Crossplane APIs provision cloud resources via kubectl. Describes using Dapr workflows to orchestrate retries and human steps, agents to inspect clusters, and reports that these integrations reduce ticket turnaround from days to hours and remove manual drift.
