summary
Salesforce builds an extensible PaaS using controller-runtime, CRDs, kubebuilder and a CLI, adopting the KRM to model service lifecycle and expose a simplified abstraction that lets service owners skip daily mundanity while still seeing through the abstraction. The control loops run on Kubernetes to automate SDLC tasks, the platform integrates with company systems of record, and the effort saves about 4,200 developer hours while enabling teams to focus on business logic.
