What Building Canyon Taught Us About AI and Platform Engineering

Discover practical insights from building Canyon, an AI-first platform assistant, and learn how to apply these lessons to your platform engineering initiatives. Explore why chat interfaces are becoming the preferred method for platform interaction, understand how deterministic backend APIs and strict role-based access control (RBAC) can effectively manage and prevent LLM hallucinations, and identify high-impact real-world use cases including "what's running where?" visualizations and dynamic scaffolding capabilities that deliver significant value to platform engineering teams.
