Explore the concept of Platform Orchestrators as a potential solution for the "missing middle" in internal developer platforms. Delve into the challenges faced by developers building applications on Kubernetes, who are increasingly responsible for shipping and running their applications in addition to coding. Examine the trade-offs between building, buying, and borrowing when it comes to creating a platform as a service (PaaS). Learn why many organizations begin their platform build with a developer portal, which provides initial success but struggles with day-two challenges. Discover how Platform Orchestrators can address the gap in managing the platform lifecycle. Consider the importance of codifying business processes into the platform, even for organizations that may not be as unique as they believe. This 15-minute talk from PlatformCon 2022 offers valuable insights for those interested in platform engineering and internal developer platforms.
