SYNTASSO KRATIX ENTERPRISE
Platform orchestration for the AI era: safe acceleration at enterprise scale
Coordinate your infrastructure tools into a unified, self-service platform with built-in governance.
Enable AI agents, automation, and human developers to ship enterprise applications with speed, safety, and efficiency at scale.
THE CORE TENSION
Stop choosing between speed and control
Enterprises have been forced into a trade-off: move fast and accept infrastructure and configuration drift, or stay safe and slow everyone down.
MOVING FAST TODAY
Results in sprawl
-
Developers self-serve with no guardrails
-
Security policies applied inconsistently
-
Infrastructure sprawl and drift across teams
-
No clear visibility into what is running where
STAYING SAFE TODAY
Leads to bottlenecks
-
Platform teams approve everything through tickets
-
Queues grow to weeks or months
-
Senior engineers are stuck in manual toil
-
Developers bypass the platform to get work done
Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) enables
speed and safety simultaneously, at scale
SKE is an enterprise platform orchestrator that coordinates your infrastructure tools into a unified, self-service platform, turning organizational complexity into application team simplicity.
Discuss your platform-building challenges and learn more about SKE from one of our Enterprise Solution Architects. Syntasso has decades of platform engineering experience throughout the team.
SKE POSITIONING
Orchestrate your platform; don’t replace it
Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) coordinates the tools you already trust into reusable, governed platform capabilities.
Ensure your team supports the four pillars for building successful platforms, without throwing away your existing technology investments or performing a big-bang migration.
Learn more about the four pillars of building successful platforms in our O’Reilly Report, "Platform as a Product: How to Design, Operate, and Evolve Internal Developer Platforms."
Self-service
Give application teams what they need, when they need it, without losing governance, visibility, or auditability.
Bespoke to your organisation
Model your platform around your tools, workflows, policies, and standards. There are no forced patterns, and no rip-and-replace.
Fleet managed
Apply changes, policies, and updates across your entire estate in a single operation, with consistency guaranteed.
Multiplayer
Enable platform teams to collaborate safely by co-authoring, evolving, and scaling the platform without conflict.
PROOF
Learn from early adopters of enterprise platform orchestrators
Large enterprises with extensive existing brownfield technologies and complex regulatory requirements chose Syntasso Kratix Enterprise (SKE) to build their platform.
NATWEST
Reducing Developer Cognitive Load and Enabling Platform Co-creation
Environment provisioning was transformed for 1000s of developers at one of the UK’s largest retail banks. Provisioning times were reduced from months to minutes, and organisational policy was automatically enforced. “NatWest is using Kratix to simplify everything. The beauty of the Kratix model is that they are like LEGO building blocks. We can start with simple use cases, start small, and iterate on that platform journey [...] And in so doing, we reduce the toil and cognitive load developers face, helping them be productive from day one. We reduce the toil and cognitive load developers face, helping them be productive from day one.” - Chris Plank, Lead Enterprise Architect and Platform as Product leader at NatWest
THE ACCESS GROUP
Scaling Enterprise AI Adoption
Providing guardrails and governance to enterprise teams adopting AI. From Terraform experimentation to Kratix-powered platform engineering, TAG scaled Evo Builder to support a global hackathon, vibe coding experiments, and one-click application delivery. “(Instead of AI generating Terraform) I pitched Kratix - the concept being that instead of letting AI freestyle infrastructure code, you give it structured abstractions to work with. A platform layer that actually grows with what users need, rather than something you have to re-architect every time requirements change.” - Phillip Morton, Platform Architect at The Access Group
VEEAM
Providing Fleet-Wide Upgrades and Governance
Veeam adopted Syntasso Kratix Enterprise to enforce policies and manage its enterprise fleet without ad hoc drift in its infrastructure. "We use a tool called Kratix… it makes the whole API workflow thing a breeze because it’s all Kubernetes CRDs at the end of the day.” - Nitish Malhotra, Staff Software Engineer at Veeam Software sharing insights at KubeCon EU 2026

AI GOVERNANCE
Platform orchestration controls shadow AI
AI is increasing the rate at which code, infrastructure, and workloads are created, outpacing platform teams' ability to govern them manually.
From business specialists' vibe coding and deploying multiple tools each week, to developers attempting to run their own “Gas Town” agent coding factory, platform teams are losing sight of and control of applications.
Enterprises unable to provide AI capabilities through internal platforms will rapidly find that developers embrace shadow AI, resulting in invisible, ungoverned, and unmaintainable services.
Enterprises need a platform that enables fast, secure shipping of applications, especially as regulatory pressure rises and technology estates become more complex. Syntasso Kratix Enterprises (SKE) was built to enable this.
AI delivery velocity is outpacing manual governance
Technology estates are getting more complex, not less
Regulatory pressure makes platform control mandatory
ADOPTION
Open source adoption. Enterprise-grade control.
Kratix open source helps platform teams evaluate and adopt the model. SKE adds the enterprise capabilities needed to run platform orchestration at scale: governance, RBAC, fleet-wide management, and enterprise support.
Building Self-Service Platform Capabilities for Kubernetes
“Unlike tools that just template resources (Helm) or provision cloud infrastructure (Crossplane), Kratix focuses on platform workflows for the complete lifecycle of deploying, configuring, and managing capabilities across multiple clusters.” Nikos Nikolakakis, Principal Site Reliability Engineer @ Workable
Composable Platforms: Modular Platform Engineering with Kratix and Backstage
“We demonstrate how using Kratix, a workload-centric framework, and Backstage, an extensible developer portal, enables the creation of self-service platforms that balance standardization with adaptability.” Hossein Salahi, Tech Lead, & Fabian Brundke, Senior Platform Engineer @ Liquid Reply
