3 COMMON
USE CASES
Supercharge Backstage to support teams
on day 1, day 2, and day 2000
Organisations typically deploy portals like Backstage to deal with developer-focused day 1 issues, such as scaffolding new applications. Kratix provides the platform behind the portal, enabling the interface to be decoupled from service delivery. This also supports developers, SREs, DevOps teams, etc., to access a delightful interface from day 1 while also ensuring platform engineers can maintain the underlying platform and capabilities for day 2 and beyond.
Reduce sprawl and maintenance of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Ensuring clear ownership of infrastructure as code can be challenging, especially as the underlying platform grows. Localised issues often require fixes that have a global impact, as modules, boundaries, and team ownership blur. Kratix wraps IaC solutions, such as Terraform, and provides an incremental solution for regaining control.
Bridge siloes, promote inner source, and enable
co-creation of platform capabilities
Kratix provides a common framework, workflow, and guardrails for platform-building that enables effective collaboration across teams, departments, and traditional organisational silos. Platform engineers can create core services and set globally enforced governance. Application, SRE, and enabling teams can create additional reusable services, workflows, and policies and contribute these back to the core using an inner sourcing model.
