The Platform Engineering Assembly Tax

Platform teams spend 6-12 months integrating Kubernetes, observability, security, networking, and AI icons from the CNCF landscape, then need 8-15 specialists costing €1M-€2M annually just to keep it running

6-12

Months to Production

Evaluation paralysis, integration hell, trial-and-error

€1.8M

Annual Ops Cost

8-15 specialist engineers just to keep platforms running
