summary
Salesforce runs Kubernetes across 2600+ hosts in 20+ private data centers and uses an in-house operator that resyncs desired state and overrides manual edits, with almost 40,000 PRs driving deployments. Visibility is implemented by snapshot producers -> Kafka -> a read‑only SQL store exposed via a pseudo Kubernetes API, enabling queries, dashboards and alerting. Tooling includes Helm, Spinnaker, OPA policy checks, image scanning and co‑signing, synthetic watchdog checks, phased rollouts, and the open‑source Sloop for two‑week cluster history.
