The Platform Engineering Mindset

Modern engineering teams need automation that scales with their organization. Kubiya applies platform engineering principles to AI automation, creating a foundation that:
  • Reduces cognitive load for developers and operators
  • Standardizes operations across teams and environments
  • Maintains reliability even as systems grow in complexity
  • Enables self-service without compromising security

​
Kubiya vs. Traditional Approaches

  • Pure AI Agents
  • Rigid Automation
  • Kubiya's Approach
Challenges with Autonomous AI
  • Unpredictable outputs for the same inputs
  • Difficulty maintaining context over long operations
  • Hard to debug when things go wrong
  • Security risks from uncontrolled system access
  • No clear audit trail for compliance
Example: An AI agent asked to “scale the production cluster” might:
  • Scale the wrong service
  • Use outdated configuration
  • Miss dependencies between services
  • Provide no rollback mechanism

​
Core Differentiators

​
🎯 Deterministic by Design

# Every execution follows the same logical path
workflow:
  name: "scale-cluster"
  steps:
    - check_current_capacity
    - validate_resource_limits  
    - update_replica_count
    - verify_health_checks
    - send_notification

​
🔒 Security First

  • Container Isolation: Every operation runs in ephemeral, isolated environments
  • Least Privilege: Fine-grained permissions for each workflow step
  • Audit Everything: Complete activity logs for compliance and debugging
  • Policy Enforcement: Define what actions are allowed for different users/teams

​
🔧 Self-Healing Integrations

Unlike static API clients, Kubiya’s integrations:
  • Automatically discover API changes and adapt
  • Provide consistent interfaces across tool versions
  • Handle authentication and credential rotation
  • Offer unified error handling and retry logic

​
🌐 Multi-Environment Operations

Orchestrate operations across:
  • Multiple Kubernetes clusters
  • Different cloud providers
  • Development, staging, and production environments
  • On-premises and cloud-native services
Multi-environment context visualization

​
Real-World Impact

​
Before Kubiya

  • 2 hours to investigate and resolve a typical incident
  • 15+ tools to check during troubleshooting
  • Multiple team members needed for complex deployments
  • Inconsistent processes between team members
  • Weekend escalations for “simple” operations
  • 30% of time spent maintaining automation scripts
  • Frequent breakages when APIs change
  • Difficult to onboard new team members
  • Limited visibility into what automation is doing
  • Security reviews required for every script change

​
After Kubiya

  • 15 minutes to resolve incidents with AI-guided workflows
  • Single interface provides all necessary context
  • Self-service operations for the entire engineering team
  • Consistent, auditable processes every time
  • Automated incident response outside business hours
  • 80% reduction in maintenance overhead
  • Self-healing integrations adapt to API changes
  • New workflows created through natural language
  • Complete observability into all automation
  • Policy-based security without review bottlenecks
