Six months in as platform lead and you have a spreadsheet you haven't shown your manager. Eleven Kubernetes clusters. EKS for production. GKE for the ML team. Two on-prem clusters behind the firewall that predate your tenure. A handful of Kind clusters developers spun up locally. Each one has its own deployment pipeline, its own credentials rotation process, its own way of answering "is this service healthy?"

Your team isn't building features anymore. You're maintaining eleven slightly different versions of the same tooling.

Platform teams carry operational knowledge that does not transfer easily. The debugging instincts, the service interdependencies, the deployment quirks: they accumulate over years and live in a few people's heads. When those people are unavailable, the gap shows.

We built Nova to put that knowledge into a system you can query. This post covers what the architecture looks like and what we learned building AI that actually operates infrastructure.
