Our cloud strategy encourages centralizing to a single cloud provider, which posed a few challenges as teams previously had the autonomy to choose their own paths and tools. As a result, our platform needed to be architectured in such a way to be agnostic to underlying cloud-specific services and designed to provide paved paths. This talk aims to provide valuable insights into the nuances of platform engineering in the cloud, offering attendees a blueprint for implementing similar strategies in their organizations. We’ll discuss the challenges we faced building our multi-tenant platform in the cloud, including specifics in how we designed:
- A simple onboarding experience, complete with starter software templates
- A secure and isolated environment on top of our centralized Kubernetes clusters
- A simple onboarding experience for multiple cloud accounts for each tenant
- A centralized approach to CI/CD, including standard build and test pipelines
- A managed ingress layer
