summary
Claims a production-ready internal developer platform can be built from OSS using Kubernetes and GitOps and demonstrates it with Big Bang plus Flux and Helm to wire Promtail, Loki, Prometheus and Grafana, Istio for mTLS and New Vector for runtime security. Deployment runs on AWS EKS, ~50 pods total, and the cluster reaches dev->prod in under six months but achieves slow adoption because many teams aren’t containerized and operational overhead of maintaining k8s proves high.
