I am thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between Syntasso and MomentumAI. This partnership will support our customers in building best-in-class platforms that enable software development teams to go fast, reduce risk, and increase efficiency at scale. MomentumAI has a proven track record of enabling customers to embrace a platform as a product approach and take advantage of all the benefits that this entails.
This collaboration between Syntasso and MomentumAI marks a significant milestone for both companies. We are working together to push the boundaries of platform engineering and deliver unparalleled value to our customers.
The Promise of Platforms: Why Kratix?
Kratix is an open-source platform framework designed to support organizations building composable internal developer platforms (IDPs). It enables the co-creation of capabilities by providing a clear contract between application and platform teams through the definition, creation, and evolution of “Promises.” This framework focuses on empowering platform engineers to build better platforms, and its unique features include:
Go Faster: Provide everything-as-a-service and self-service access to the resources your teams need to eliminate bottlenecks and accelerate development.
Reduce Risk: Codify key business processes across your organization to consistently incorporate them and ensure critical processes are applied uniformly.
Increase Efficiency: Manage resources as a fleet and automate the full lifecycle of your platform resources to reduce technical debt and operational overhead.
Platform as a Product
Industry analysts and thought leaders such as Gartner, Thoughtworks, and the Team Topologies authors have recently advocated that the only way to build a successful platform is to treat this as an internal product. Joe Fitzgerald, CEO of MomentumAI, and myself, Colin Humphreys, CEO of Syntasso, were coauthors of the original 2017 whitepaper that introduced and argued for the value of implementing platform as a product: “Why You Should Treat Platform as a Product“.
Solving the Day 2000 Platform Problem
One of the most compelling reasons MomentumAI chose to partner with Syntasso is Kratix’s ability to effectively address the Day 2000 problem. As organizations scale, managing thousands of platform resources becomes a daunting task. Kratix provides a robust solution through its fleet management capabilities, allowing you to manage your entire platform estate at scale. This ensures that your platform resources are consistently and efficiently managed, reducing operational complexity and enabling your teams to focus on innovation and growth.
Everything as a Service (XaaS)
We believe in the power of providing everything as a service (XaaS) to drive efficiency and innovation. Kratix enhances this approach by supporting many services through the Promise Marketplace, including Database as a Service (DBaaS). By integrating DBaaS and other critical services into a unified platform, we empower our clients to access and manage the resources they need on demand, streamlining operations and reducing time to market.
