An IDP is the infrastructure layer that sits between your code How code gets deployed How secrets are managed How the system monitors itself How failures get detected and fixed Most companies pay Humanitec or Backsta
If your local-Ollama agent has been getting quietly worse for no obvious reason — same model, same hardware, same prompts — there's a good chance you're hitting an invisible ceiling that produces no error, no warning, and no log line. Just an empty response where an answer used to be. I want to walk through how this manifests, why it's specifically painful for autonomous agent workloads (not chat)
We had ArgoCD running perfectly. Every deployment was reconciled from Git. Drift detection worked. Rollbacks were one-click. Our GitOps setup was clean. Developers still couldn't provision a staging environment without pinging the platform team. That gap — between "GitOps in place" and "developers can actually self-serve" — is where most platform engineering teams get stuck. GitOps solves a real p
