In most companies, one team gets to a working agent setup before the rest. That's just how it goes with anything new. Fixing the gap after that is less about smarter agents and more about one shared place where what works gets remembered. That shared place is what our Agent Platform actually is.

We're excited about the Giant Swarm Agent Platform, so we did what you do when you're excited about something: showed it to anyone who'd look, starting at a bar the night before ContainerDays.

@puja.dev revisited his 2016 post on Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps. The primitives are unchanged. Everything upstream of them (source of truth, identity, RBAC) isn't. 🐌

Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps in 2026: the Secret is the last mile » Giant Swarm
Kubernetes Secrets and ConfigMaps still work the same. They're now the last mile of a longer pipeline. Giant Swarm's Puja Abbassi explains.

@vxav.bsky.social and Antonia stitched together a Kubernetes cluster from two different hypervisors. It worked. It was also a terrible idea. 🤠 They're sharing what they learned at @cnsmunich.bsky.social — and how Kamaji let them solve the same problem without the custom glue.

Marshmallow built great pipelines. Got promoted to "platform team for everyone." Now her Jira is on fire. 🐕🔥 The Level 2 → Level 3 gap breaks almost every platform team.

Overwhelmed by scale: how product thinking fixes platform teams » Giant Swarm
Most platform teams don't fail because they lack talent. They fail because they're running a service team. Giant Swarm's recipe for closing that gap.

Naval, Warp, and Spotify all discovered the same thing from different angles: the constraint moved from writing code to defining what code to write. Same pattern, three very different contexts. Thoughts from @puja.dev.

Turns out "we'll fix it when we have more time" is not a platform strategy. It's just what the platform assembly tax sounds like from the inside.
