Just shipped dynamic root selection in the relationship graph! Instantly got lost exploring how projects, resources & teams connect. It’s fully auto-generated from Tempest data — tons of insights just by jumping from node to node. Surprisingly fun, super insightful, and kind of addictive.
What a debut at #KubeCon London for @tempestdx.com! Our first-ever conference and the response to Tempest was electric—platform engineers from across Europe sharing the exact challenges we built to solve. Still packed until the final bell! Grateful and energized by all who connected with us.
Q: Are you built on Backstage?
A: Nope! Tempest goes deep in self-serve and deployment orchestration, and we needed to start from first principles in order to deliver the experience we wanted.
Did a few hundred demos of @tempestdx.com on Day 1 of #KubeCon! Super energized by everyone's excitement for what we're building—here are some of the most common Q&As we got:
Excited for the first day of #kubecon London today! If you’re interested in building an internal developer platform that gives your teams one-click deployable environments without sacrificing any control or expressiveness, shoot me a DM!
Long trip from LAX-DEN-LHR to get to London for #KubeCon but excited for PlatformCon tomorrow!
This is going to be me in a couple of hours 😂
Super excited for #KubeCon London next week! If you're in platform engineering and dream about building a managed self-service catalog for your organization, drop by the Tempest booth at South Events Hall booth S782 (next to the Relaxation Station).

google'd geocities on a whim, got more than I expected
Just a week before #KubeCon! I'll be there with my team at @tempestdx.com
come by the booth to check out what we're cooking in the platform eng space, or if you just want to talk shop on cloud/startups/founder life.
RSVP'd :D
Love it! Would love to see where you're going with it—been a long time user of k8s (since alpha) so me or @jagiello.org happy to swap notes.
👋 I'll be there this year along with the team at @tempestdx.com! We're building a IDP focused deeply on orchestration, UX, and minimal setup. Drop by our booth, would love to talk shop!
As a former CTO, I vetted the security, privacy, and quality aspects of any software we used to build Fleetsmith. It's a critical part of the job to ensure that you're building with reliable and trustworthy software.
My cofounder @skram.bsky.social details how we do automated testing at Tempest as part of our commitment to transparency for our customers. https://buff.ly/4aBfnrs
I helped lead our newest IDP feature: Governance. This is just the start, but is super exciting!
The platform engineering landscape is ever-evolving—and in 2025, the breadth of tools available to help organize the software and workflows you build has never been better. We walk you through what's available today in our 2025 #IDP buyers guide. Check it out!
Super excited to announce that @tempestdx.com is now a @cncf.io and @linuxfoundation.org member! We'll be seeing you all at #Kubecon this year in London!

We couldn't let 2024 end without dropping one more release at Tempest. This week, we've got some really exciting stuff for you: a playground to preview your Private Apps in, a huge change to managing ownership for your projects, and a brand new doc site.

Next week, we'll be skipping our typical Thursday change log to spend some time with our families, but we'll be closing out 2024 with a jam packed release. Stay tuned!
Our last change log before Christmas is out! This week, we made assigning ownership and classifications for your software catalog a whole lot easier. Multi-select and a right click-context menu make for lightning fast attribution.

Move fast with... good health insurance?
Somewhere along my founder journey, I started saying "work smarter not harder". Well, that's bullshit. Winning is about working smarter AND harder than your competition.
Zero trust: everyone (was) talking about it, but how far did we get? From inventory basics to the long tail of unsolved challenges, here's a realistic look at where you are in your zero trust journey, from a talk @ericchiang.bsky.social and I gave in 2022 😅 mayakaczorowski.com/blogs/road-t...
Automation and personalization should not be mutually exclusive. This week, we added Recipe Previews to Tempest—a way to share an automated developer workflow with your internal customers + lots of other QoL improvements.
