People see a need to not just have a platform, but engineer their own platform and that is why Kratix.io is taking off. Come meet the amazing team behind the platform framework at @syntasso.io booth S641 and figure out how to make platform engineering high leverage for your organisation!
Kratix | The Open-source Platform Engineering Framework
Kratix is the open-source platform framework that combines the flexibility and customisability of building your platform from scratch with the on-demand and self-service power of public clouds.

My son is turning 16 tomorrow and he’s just so grumpy about it 😞. Where did my cute baby boy go and who replaced him with a teenager?

I am feeling very sorry for myself today. My flight home to London was cancelled yesterday due to the storm and so I’m stuck in Edinburgh and missing my family. Please share jokes or dog pictures to cheer me up ❤️

New year, new training for half marathon. I try to run one every year and every year it seems to get harder and harder. Just done 6km in the pouring rain, now completely knackered 😴

Why is it so hard to sort my facebook account? I rarely use FB, mostly it's where I check how friends spell their children's names for writing the Christmas cards!
My FB account was hacked & blocked since 4th Nov. I finally got a reset code but that's not working, nor is any other logon method 😭
