I have been curating list of PaaS, kubernetes abstractions etc. in Awesome PaaS [1].

PS. This space is super competitive. One of the things I have noticed is that the life of an organisation using a platform like this is very short. For example, a startup might use this right away to become compliant and stuff, but once they mature and hire devops engineers, which they will when they hit PMF, they will plan a migration out of your platform.

I am wondering how you are planning to counter this behavior.

Totally fair question - we're thinking about this in 2 ways:

1. Continue to build out integrations across the toolset. For ex. we provide a built-in CI/CD pipeline but know that most mature orgs will want to use Jenkins/Argo/Github Actions etc. so we are building out those integrations (have Github already). Our goal is to give customers an onramp to get started and then once they mature, have the integrations ready for them to easily adopt the tools they care about.

2. Continue to expand the platform into other areas of the service layer. We're working on building out a service cataloguing module and testing module to make it easy for teams to understand what services they have, who owns them, scorecards etc. and to test them. The goal is to expand across the service layer vs. up and down the stack (DB or front-end layer).
