summary

Builds a platform function at Kognic for a ~90‑person company with ~45 engineers, running on Google Cloud GKE single cluster. Claims: unblock developers and remove toil by shipping three integrations: external-dns (two weeks to migrate, self‑service DNS), cert-manager (automated LetsEncrypt renewals, medium ROI), and Argo CD (gitops deployments, high upfront cost, large ongoing ROI). Numbers: migration time, team sizes, single cluster. Result: DNS/certs/deployments largely stop being recurring blockers.
