Claim: build an Internal Developer Platform that lets application teams self-serve clusters, apps and managed databases. Uses Backstage + Argo CD sync + Crossplane to expose a composite cluster CRD and Crossplane compositions so a developer pushes ~30 lines of YAML (instead of hundreds) to git, Argo CD applies it, Crossplane provisions EKS, Helm charts and an RDS instance (database takes ~10 minutes). Demo shows the cluster, Argo CD and app created end to end.
