LLM Gateway: secure AI and your data (without blocking teams)
An LLM Gateway is not just another proxy: it’s where you enforce governance, security, and observability on AI usage—right inside your workflows.

Why a Vibe Coding Agent Must Be Governed
AI coding agents increase delivery speed, but they also magnify risk: data leakage, hallucinations, and policy bypass. Here’s why governance is mandatory—and how Argy Code fits into that framework.

Supply chain security: SBOM, signatures, and attestations in your golden paths
SBOM, signatures, provenance (SLSA)… everyone talks about them. The real question: how do you make them systematic and adopted through your platform?

Incident response: automate runbooks (and reduce chaos)
PDF runbooks don’t save production. Executable runbooks—triggered at the right time—reduce MTTR and cognitive load.

FinOps: put cost guardrails into the flow (without friction)
Cloud cost explodes mostly when guardrails don’t exist in the workflow. A platform can make good choices the default.

Preview environments & release trains: ship faster without breaking
Preview envs accelerate feedback loops, release trains stabilize shipping. Together they industrialize delivery—if the workflow is standardized.

Multi-cloud: standardize without fragmenting delivery
Multi-cloud rarely fails because of technology—more often because conventions fragment. Golden paths provide a shared interface without denying real differences.

SRE & Platform Team: SLOs, ownership, and clear responsibilities
No ownership, no reliability. No SLOs, no steering. A platform can make these principles executable and adopted through golden paths.

Kubernetes (Day 2): automated runbooks and routines to operate at scale
Day 1 (deploy) is easy. Day 2 (operations) is expensive. Standardizing Kubernetes routines via the platform reduces incidents and toil.

From Terraform templates to reusable modules: the right abstraction level
Templates accelerate a project. Modules accelerate an organization. The difference: schema, versioning, guardrails, and supportability.

Secrets: Vault, rotation, and access standards in a workflow
Secrets are both a security and an ergonomics problem. Standardizing access and rotation through the platform reduces bypasses.

Developer onboarding: reduce cognitive load with golden paths
Great onboarding means fewer docs to read and more safe paths to follow. Golden paths make developer experience immediate.

Scorecards: drive quality without turning the platform into the police
Scorecards create visibility: standards, gaps, progress. The key is linking gaps to concrete actions inside golden paths.

Audit logs: make traceability usable (not just stored)
Traceability only matters when it is structured, queryable, and linked to actions. The platform is the natural place to do this.

Policy-as-code: practical OPA/Conftest quality gates
Policy-as-code is not a tool, it’s a way to make governance testable. Quality gates become a standard step of the golden path.

Pipelines-as-code: turn CI/CD standards into reusable capabilities
Copy-pasted pipelines are debt. Versioned, modular pipelines are a lever for quality and speed.

Versioned modules: SemVer strategy, compatibility, and adoption
Versioning is not cosmetic: it’s what makes a platform safe to adopt. A clear SemVer strategy reduces fear of breaking changes.

Governed catalog & self-service: RBAC, approvals, and guardrails
Self-service without guardrails becomes shadow IT. Governed self-service accelerates delivery while keeping control and compliance.

IDP vs Dev Portal: how to choose (and succeed) with an internal platform
The trap is not the tool. The trap is confusing portal, catalog, and orchestration capability. Here’s how to choose based on outcomes.

Measuring Platform Engineering value: KPIs that actually steer
No metrics, no steering. But the wrong KPIs create friction. Here’s an outcome-driven approach: velocity, reliability, adoption.

Modular architecture: custom extensions without breaking standards
A platform can’t predict everything. The key is governed extension points: hooks, add-ons, and versioned custom modules.

Golden Paths: Standardize Without Friction
Golden paths are not rails. They are readable, versioned, and configurable paths that reduce cognitive load while keeping freedom where it matters.

From Template to Module: Packaging Golden Paths
Templates are a starting point. Modules are product capabilities: schema + implementation + guardrails + docs + run. That’s how you scale adoption without snowflakes.

Platform as a Product: Adoption & Impact
An internal platform is not a project. It's a product. Without adoption, there is no impact—and without impact, there is no platform.
September 22, 2025
Governance by Design: From Policy to Product
Governance fails when it is an external review step. It works when guardrails are embedded into golden paths and shipped as a platform capability.
September 17, 2025
Run as a Product: Observability, Runbooks, Ownership
Most platform initiatives stop at delivery. The hard part is operating at scale: baselines, runbooks, and clear ownership—packaged as reusable capabilities.

Argy AI: The DevSecOps Copilot for Golden Paths
Argy AI is a context-aware copilot connected to your module catalog, schemas, governance signals, and run knowledge—so teams can ship and operate with less friction.

AI and Platform Engineering: From Assistants to Industrialized Flows
AI is not a magic button. In a platform, it becomes useful when it reduces diagnosis, decision, and execution time—at the right place in the workflow.
