Platform Engineers

Platform Engineers use Floe to deploy and operate governed data platform services on Kubernetes.

  • Kubernetes cluster access and platform namespace setup.
  • Platform manifest choices for compute, catalog, storage, orchestration, lineage, observability, and security.
  • Helm installation, upgrades, rollback, service access, and operational validation.
  • Secrets, object storage, ingress, TLS, and persistence choices for your environment.

Your primary handoff to Data Engineers is a Platform Environment Contract. It should be versioned, reviewable, and usable by humans and CI. Avoid one-off endpoint handoffs that cannot be audited or reproduced.

  1. Read the enterprise operating model.
  2. Deploy your first platform.
  3. Draft a Platform Environment Contract.
  4. Validate your platform and publish the validated contract.
  5. Run Customer 360 as the advanced end-to-end proof.

You do not need DevPod to deploy Floe as a product. DevPod is a contributor and release-validation path for running heavyweight checks outside a laptop.
