Modern cloud-native applications promise scalability and velocity, but realizing the benefits depends on harmonizing all the underlying components glued together via configuration and secrets. Legacy approaches fail to meet the demands of complexity at the cloud scale, resulting in a quagmire of brittleness, environment skew, disjointed tooling, and manual upkeep, draining productivity.
