What a debut at #KubeCon London for @tempestdx.com! Our first-ever conference and the response to Tempest was electric—platform engineers from across Europe sharing the exact challenges we built to solve. Still packed until the final bell! Grateful and energized by all who connected with us.

Did a few hundred demos of @tempestdx.com on Day 1 of #KubeCon! Super energized by everyone's excitement for what we're building—here are some of the most common Q&As we got:

Excited for the first day of #kubecon London today! If you’re interested in building an internal developer platform that gives your teams one-click deployable environments without sacrificing any control or expressiveness, shoot me a DM!

Long trip from LAX-DEN-LHR to get to London for #KubeCon but excited for PlatformCon tomorrow!

Super excited for #KubeCon London next week! If you're in platform engineering and dream about building a managed self-service catalog for your organization, drop by the Tempest booth at South Events Hall booth S782 (next to the Relaxation Station).

google'd geocities on a whim, got more than I expected

Just a week before #KubeCon! I'll be there with my team at @tempestdx.com come by the booth to check out what we're cooking in the platform eng space, or if you just want to talk shop on cloud/startups/founder life.

My cofounder @skram.bsky.social details how we do automated testing at Tempest as part of our commitment to transparency for our customers. https://buff.ly/4aBfnrs

I helped lead our newest IDP feature: Governance. This is just the start, but is super exciting!

The platform engineering landscape is ever-evolving—and in 2025, the breadth of tools available to help organize the software and workflows you build has never been better. We walk you through what's available today in our 2025 #IDP buyers guide. Check it out!

Super excited to announce that @tempestdx.com is now a @cncf.io and @linuxfoundation.org member! We'll be seeing you all at #Kubecon this year in London! #platformengineering

We couldn't let 2024 end without dropping one more release at Tempest. This week, we've got some really exciting stuff for you: a playground to preview your Private Apps in, a huge change to managing ownership for your projects, and a brand new doc site. tempestdx.com/changelog/do... #devex

Our last change log before Christmas is out! This week, we made assigning ownership and classifications for your software catalog a whole lot easier. Multi-select and a right click-context menu make for lightning fast attribution. #platformengineering #developerportal

Somewhere along my founder journey, I started saying "work smarter not harder". Well, that's bullshit. Winning is about working smarter AND harder than your competition.

Zero trust: everyone (was) talking about it, but how far did we get? From inventory basics to the long tail of unsolved challenges, here's a realistic look at where you are in your zero trust journey, from a talk @ericchiang.bsky.social and I gave in 2022 😅 mayakaczorowski.com/blogs/road-t...

The road to zero trust is paved with good intentions

Where is your organization really in your zero trust journey, and how much further do you have to do? Implementing a true zero trust architecture is more aspirational than achievable.

Automation and personalization should not be mutually exclusive. This week, we added Recipe Previews to Tempest—a way to share an automated developer workflow with your internal customers + lots of other QoL improvements. #platformengineering #developerplatform #azure

Musing with @davidwoolf.me about the difference between design and art: "Design has a job" "Design must function" "Design strives to evoke the same meaning for everyone"

Just shipped our latest changelog! We got feedback that folks loved our vision for self-serve, but wanted to start with simpler use cases around provisioning single infrastructure components—so we built Workflows. DM if you'd like a quick demo! #platformengineering #developerplatform #devex

Tiny gem from Linear founder @artman.bsky.social on the @pragmaticengineer.com "We are building on top of Google Cloud. When you are choosing your cloud provider, you really have two straightforward options: AWS or GCP. On paper, they look pretty similar." [1/5]

The Story of Linear as told by its CTO

Tuomas Artman went from Big Tech to startup co-founder. He shares building of Linear, the working culture and learnings from Big Tech
