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.

🍝 Knowing 200 people well beats knowing 10,000 in a database. *Every time.* Julia wrote up six lessons from six years of running events at Giant Swarm. The throughline: the event isn't the product. The relationship is. On the blog now.
6 lessons learned from 6 years of building relationships with events » Giant Swarm
Six years of building community at Giant Swarm revealed one truth: the event isn't the product. The relationship is.

@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.
The software inflection point: agents, OSS, and InnerSource » Giant Swarm
What happens to open source when agents do the coding? Giant Swarm thinks the maintainer's job just got harder — and more important.

Infrastructure decisions made total sense when you made them. (The world just kept moving.) Manuel Gawert on what a VMware exit actually looks like in practice.
You're probably still paying for a VMware licence you no longer need » Giant Swarm
Still renewing a six-figure VMware license? If your workloads run on Kubernetes, you may be paying for a layer you no longer need. Giant Swarm can help.

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.
The platform assembly tax: what platform teams keep telling us
The hidden cost of platform engineering isn't building your stack — it's keeping it alive. Giant Swarm surveyed 143 platform teams to find out.
