The Death of the YAML-Engineer: Engineering "Invisible" Platf...

" summary

Claims a 30% developer time loss to the “YAML Tax” and shows a concrete stack: Score for a single workload‑centric spec and Crossplane for provisioning via CRDs and compositions. Demo generates Kubernetes manifests from score.yaml, applies them, and Crossplane provisions a Postgres statefulset then automatically detects and repairs drift after manual deletion. Platform pattern cuts onboarding from weeks to minutes by shifting implementation into reusable Crossplane compositions and a one‑time bridge.
