How to Build Cloud-Native Platforms with Kubernetes
summary
Shows a Kubernetes-first platform that uses Port for a one‑click developer flow, creates a GitHub PR, and has Argo CD reconcile changes while Crossplane compositions (200+ lines) provision Azure resources and spin up per‑developer vclusters. Demo runs on a local kind cluster, deploys an app that reads blob content, surfaces logs and Grafana metrics, and performs a clean teardown. Claims near‑zero developer friction and demonstrates the actual YAML, PR, and CI steps that succeed end to end.
