Platform engineering represents the natural evolution of DevOps and SRE principles, but it faces a fundamental challenge: how do you scale platform expertise across an entire organization without requiring every developer to become a cloud expert?

This is where Nova comes in — your AI platform engineer that makes infrastructure accessible to everyone through natural conversation.

The Platform Engineering Challenge: Scale vs. Expertise​

Platform engineering promised to solve the "you build it, you run it" scaling problem by creating Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). But even the best platforms face fundamental limitations:

Enter Nova: Your AI Platform Engineer​

Nova is an AI platform engineer that helps you manage infrastructure through natural conversation. Ask questions, get answers, generate configurations, and troubleshoot issues — all through simple chat.

What makes Nova different:

• Works with your existing tools (Slack, GitHub, AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and more)
• Available however you want to work — browser, self-hosted, or in your editor
• Extensible through Skills and MCP integrations

What Can Nova Do?​

Example conversations:

• "How much would 10 t3.medium instances cost per month in us-west-2?"
• "Generate Terraform for an EKS cluster with autoscaling"
• "Why is my pod crashing in the production namespace?"
• "Create a Helm chart for a Node.js app with Redis"

Three Ways to Use Nova​

Nova is available however you prefer to work:

Nova Cloud​

• Managed sign-in through the hosted OAuth flow
• Same Nova capabilities in your development workflow

Extensible by Design​

Nova's power comes from its extensibility. Connect the tools you already use:

Available Skills:

• Cloud Providers — AWS, Google Cloud, Azure cost calculations and resource management
• Communication — Slack integration for team collaboration
• Development — GitHub for code search, issues, and PRs
• Infrastructure — Terraform and Helm configuration generation
• Kubernetes — Cluster management and troubleshooting
• And more — Add any MCP server for custom integrations

The Vision: Platform Engineering for Everyone​

The evolution from DevOps → SRE → Platform Engineering → AI-Assisted Platform Engineering represents more than technological progress — it's about democratizing expertise that has historically been scarce and expensive.
