Platform Orchestrators: The Missing Middle of Internal Developer Platforms?

At PlatformCon 2022, I argued that developers building applications on Kubernetes today are being asked not just to code. They are also responsible for shipping and running their applications. We often talk about needing a Kubernetes “platform” to handle these responsibilities, but do we really need to build our own PaaS?

• Many organisations start their platform build with a developer portal, which provides success on day one (service catalogue and app scaffolding) but struggles with day two challenges (upgrades and patching)
• There appears to be a “missing middle” that manages the platform lifecycle in many implementations, which a “platform orchestrator” can address
• Most organisations are not as unique as they think they are, but they need to codify their business processes into the platform to enable them to scale efficiently.
