“Opinionated, end-to-end workflows: the recommended way to build and run software on the Skyscrapers platform”

What are Golden Paths?

Golden Paths are the supported, recommended ways to accomplish common workflows on our platform. They are not individual tool guides, they are cross-cutting, end-to-end paths that span multiple technologies and represent our opinionated way of doing things.

Each path answers a developer goal, “I need my app running”, “I need it reachable on the internet”, “I need to see what’s happening”, and walks you through the recommended approach using the technologies we support.

#PathQuestion it answers
1Deploy Your Application“I have code, I want it running on the cluster”
2Expose Your Application (TBD)“My app is running, I need users to reach it”
3Manage Your Secrets (TBD)“I have credentials that can’t be in plaintext”
4Observe Your Application (TBD)“I need to see what my app is doing and debug when things break”
5Protect Your Application (TBD)“Backups, network isolation, TLS, auth”
6Start a New Microservice (TBD)“I’m starting from zero, wire everything up”
7Build a Well-Behaved Container (TBD)“How do I make my container production-grade?”
8Design Your Cluster’s Compute (TBD)“How do I design the right Karpenter nodepools for this workload mix?”
