The Platform Orchestrator

The rules engine powering  your enterprise grade Internal Developer Platform. Driving standardization for the platform team and self-service for developers.

What it does

With every git-push, the Orchestrator interprets what resources and configurations are required for a workload to run, it creates app- and infrastructure configs based on rules defined by the platform team and executes them.

How it works

The Orchestrator follows a “Read”-”Match”-”Create”-”Deploy” pattern.

01
Read

The Orchestrator reads the description of the workload and its dependent resources (the workload specification or Score file) from the CI pipeline.

02
Match

The Orchestrator identifies the context (e.g. deployment to env of type staging). It then matches the correct rules (resource and configuration definitions) provided by the platform team.

03
Create

After matching the abstract request from the developer to the rules and defaults provided by the platform team, the Orchestrator creates the app- and infrastructure configs.

04
Deploy

Finally, the Orchestrator creates/updates the resources and deploys the workload. It can do this itself on in collaboration with a dedicated CD tool..

Extensibility

How it integrates with your setup

The Orchestrator connects to your CI pipeline and integrates with your existing toolchain through drivers. These are extension points to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules and cloud-APIs, like your AWS or GCP.
